If you recognize functional as the paradigm it is, I propose the name comp.functional. This keeps it in parallelism with comp.object, dedicated to the object paradigm in genneral and to no language in particular. Note that the name comp.lang.functional might somewhat be misunderstood into flame wars among some languages, which should, IMHO, be kept within their groups. Please mail personal comments, for I may not be reading this group. -- Joaquim Manuel Soares Baptista, aka px@fctunl.rccn.pt, px@unl.uucp Snail: CRIA, UNINOVA, FCT/UNL, 2825 Mt Caparica, Portugal Confused?
