Perhaps it would be simpler to pass the interval modifiers as functional arguments: (def mapr (f x y . fs) (let r (range x y) (map f r (apply map + (map [map _ r] fs))))) arc> (mapr (fn (x y) (prn x " " y))

Pretty amusing experiment. The site doesn't seem to like pg's informal writing style. Very cool website though. I need to use this on my blog posts.

Nice post. The author's list at http://www.usnews.com/blogs/outside-voices-careers/2008/6/24... is great. I wish my workplace understood this, especially #3. Few businesses are ambitious enough to tackle #7.

I can't wait to see the mascot/logo for SearchMonkey. I seriously can't understand why two companies, Yahoo and Microsoft, with such a fetish for pointless pseudo-3D characters couldn't manage to come together as one. Pics: http://www.bian

In "Being Popular" you mention that the Dream Language has a "thin" manual with "lots of good examples to learn from." Can we look forward to a book on Arc?

I guess the title "Arc could use more libraries" isn't as attention-getting as "Why Arc is bad for exploratory programming."
