| masak | heh. true. | 06:55 | |
| maybe write it down as "007 is more like Python in that spot" | |||
| Python definitely upholds a distinction between statements and expressions | 06:57 | ||

| Ven`` | Well, that's certainly a part of Python I dislike (I really really don't like single-statement lambdas) | 11:50 | |
| I'd definitely rather we go the Perl 6-functionalish side rather than the Python 3 "we should have removed lambda" side. | |||
| masak | I hear you. | 16:18 | |
| the thing is, if we use JavaScript as a tie-breaker, JavaScript also quite clearly distinguishes between statements and expressions. | 16:19 | ||
| in fact, I would argue that Perl 5 and Perl 6 do too. | 16:20 | ||
| I'm still a little bit surprised at the fervor that exists for the "everything is an expression" viewpoint. | 16:22 | ||

| Ven`` | Is that so surprising when we're talking about Lisp? | 18:13 | |
| Also, I did mention it in the context of JS and the hacks Coffee goes through | 18:14 | ||
