It looks to me like a wierd cross between LISP and some functional
language they showed us at univ. (Maybe ML, not sure)

*shudder*

I may have been irrevocably damaged by my Basic->Pascal->C++ upbringing,
but that Curl stuff just looks hideous!
If LISP = Lots of Indented Silly Parentheses, then CURL = Cruel Usage of
Retro Languageconstructs ;-)

Which reminds me, do we have any cool acronyms for Ruby yet?
Such as... Really Useful Brain Yanker.
