Yeah, no kidding. I once dreamt that I was trapped in a Y combinator (or the combinator was stuck inside my dream?). I woke up from that dream 7 times in a row, without going back to sleep, before I gave up and did go back to sleep. Then the next (10th) time I woke up, I had finally *really* popped out. I think I may have actually run into the dream's stack-depth limit when I came crashing back to reality. The funniest part of that dream was that I had it back in high school, before I even knew what a Y combinator was--which, I guess, is actually kind-of appropriate.... -- "When (λf.((λx.f(xx)) (λx.f(xx)))) comes calling, it's all too tempting to callback." _______________________________________________ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss/
