PLT Schemers lived in the world of "typed" (don't ignore quotes) 
and unityped (the i is not a typo) modules for the time when Mr
Spidey was functional. 

Is it easy? No. Is it worthwhile? It's most definitely worthwhile. 

Does it help design? You bet. And this semester I taught a whole
bunch of kids here how to use these "types" for Perl design, and 
you know what? They loved it and they realized why Perl doesn't 
work. 

It is a good world, and we're rebuilding it with MrFlow. More to
come when we're ready to say things.
