You haven't seen Python 2.2? Its a genuine functional
programming language now, with full lexical scoping,
closures, and even some advanced concepts like
iterators which cannot be programmed in Ocaml.
Stackless Python provides the full continuation
passing (and Felix provides procedural continuations)
so they're both ahead of Ocaml as functional languages
on that score :-)
