Actually, I think that if you sort UTF-8 strings just treating them as sequences of unsigned bytes, you get the same order as if you treated them as sequences of...

We already have a very small – and very handy – amount of destructuring: Namely, the `@list` notation for left hand sides and lambda lists / formal parameters. It would...

@zzamboni Escaping from nested function calls is not what I would call spaghetti-code. If this were a facility for jumping _in_, yes, or another form of goto, I'd agree. But...

A more general facility, which avoids the lexicality restriction, would be some sort of throw/catch, using a of tag to identify catch targets (`$t` in the following example): ``` fn...

The “spooky action at a distance” argument is why I am not in favour of throw/catch. But I don't agree that `return-from` falls into this category! At least, no more...

I think I am beginning to understand the nature of the blackhole variable a bit better, after a few experiments that, at first, confused me greatly, but now makes perfectly...
