Re: Another variable question

[David Carlisle <davidc@xxxxxxxxx>]

     Everyone is going to cheat, because normal
    (i.e. not computer science) people do not normally know much about
    functional programming.  

Which probably accounts for the sadly misinformed level of discussion
re xsl on other fora at present. Perhaps with all this interest in
languages *ML people should be given the pleasure of an introductory
course in Standard ML before they start.


  3) Why call them "variables" if they don't vary ? :)

Not my call, but probably if they were called constants people would get
confused that they had different values in different scopes.
