yes, and that's great, although it would be even greater if this smile could
be expanded into laughter.

I must say that the more I understand of object oriented languages, the more
it becomes clear that functional languages are not superior per se. It is
just a different tool.

So I am not in favour of:
one language to rule them all,
one language to bind them,
...(etc.)

cheers!
