That said, there is a little voice in that = same part of my brain whispering about exploring FP for creating software p= olygon rendering stuff, which right now I only really work with through the= OpenGL and video game console lenses. Probably the closest I got to somet= hing LISPy was futzing with some Guile stuff pertaining to GDB. Also pardon the whole "Python's a functional language I am very smart about= things", that's based on plenty of commentary I've heard and read, not any= sort of formal analysis or research. Feel free to call me out anywhere yo= u think I might be parroting (inaccurate) common sentiment about things I h= ave tangential understanding of, I try not to but sometimes it just still c= rops up in casual chit chat :P To attempt a tie-back to TUHS, has anyone here ever tried to bring up bits = of Python on a historic UNIX implementation? - Matt G.
