Some people may notice that I just announced a new Nasal version on
Freshmeat.net today. This release includes support for the
oft-requested recursive contexts feature. It uses it internally to
implement call() (a functional programming gadget that most people
don't care about) and eval()

Ah, I know this sort of feature. We call it recursive loop :-))

Not to ruin the joke, but you could do that already. Nasal has always
been a fully functional language, with recursion, lexical closures and
anonymous lambda expressions. :)

We should recode FGFS functional then.
Then I can proofe that that I'll never crash a plane! :)
In one of my classes at school, we played around a little bit with the
idea of proving mathematically that an algorithm was correct. Hard,
mind bending stuff, but fascinating.
