Don't forget Python, where even definitions are executable. Though modern Scheme is not as static as R4RS or ISLisp, where there is not even `eval`. (Of course these languages are not static in the sense of static typing.) -- John Cowan co...@ccil.org http://ccil.org/~cowan The present impossibility of giving a scientific explanation is no proof that there is no scientific explanation. The unexplained is not to be identified with the unexplainable, and the strange and extraordinary nature of a fact is not a justification for attributing it to powers above nature. --The Catholic Encyclopedia, s.v.
