I've followed lout almost since day one. It's very nicely written,
and I've never had any problems installing it on various Unix
derivatives. Try notating a diagram in its pic-equivalent language,
however, and I think you'll find that it's far less elegant. This
is a result of it using a general applicative language style instead
of a little language.
