heh 

you, not you individually but the Imperial You, programmers and language developers are in serious need of engineers. hmm prolly mechanical engineers.

added: hee thanks i type like a cabbage

you all need something  like a Carnot cycle and efficiency rating for languages imo

imperative you? I don't think we're imperilled here...

I can't believe it's been 2 years an nobody here has come up with this trivial implementation of the "counter" generator in Scheme:

 (define (counter n)
    (cons n (delay (counter (add1 n)))))
 (define next (compose force cdr))

You iterate over it like this:

  (let loop (c (counter 12))
     (print (car c))
     (loop (next c)))

The thing that this "counter" function returns is called a "stream" by Schemers.
