Though, he might be a techgeeker, so watch out ! -ap Don't bother with this Xah Lee clown. He posts random crap because he thinks everyone wants to hear what he has to say about unrelated subject material and thinks he looks smart for doing it. Unfortunately, he usually lacks a clue about any topic he brings up (and he always starts a new thread like he's some authority). His goals are nothing more than to post arrogant, clueless rants thinking he's showing off. this is why he ALWAYS cross posts to the same groups (Emacs, Python,, Perl, etc.), even when the topic or content has nothing to do with those things. He thinks people in these groups automatically respect him, when most have killfiled him. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Instead, it was inspired by the decorate-sort-undecorate pattern. The decorate-sort-undecorate pattern is a compiler limitation, for most of today's langs. I'm not sure, but i think some of the fancy functional langs automatically detect such and optimize it away, to various degrees. You mean people use that pattern as a fast alternative in languages where user-defined functions are very slow, like Python and Mathematica? Do not give this Xah Lee idiot any attention. This asshole posts only self-serving nonsense, because he thinks it makes him sound important (when in reality, he is absolutely clueless). This idiot always cross posts to 5 or more different groups that have nothing to do with his attempts to impress people (which always fail). He's incredibly arrogant, yet incredibly clueless. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
