>Nonetheless, it's awesome that a language that's been around for 60 some-odd years is still evolving and making use of modern programming techniques. It's interesting that I keep hearing functional techniques referred to as modern despite the fact that many of them date back to the 50s in LISP, in some cases (first class functions) back to the 30s in the Lambda Calculus. Sometimes it really does take a long time for good ideas to spread.
