Functions are just mappings of values to values, they may be opaque, but they're predictable, unchanging, and just...too boring to be antropomorphized. Objects contain all kinds of hidden state and dependencies, and the sheer unpredicatability of it all is the reason for the anthropomorphics - it a symptom of a disease, not a desirable quality. -k -- If I haven't seen further, it is by standing in the footprints of giants _______________________________________________ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
