Yeah okay I got it. I think the funcall/lambda stuff got me confused, it's kind of obvious in hindsight. In which case I agree it's a matter of taste. I guess

Yeah okay I got it. I think the funcall/lambda stuff got me confused, it's kind of obvious in hindsight. In which case I agree it's a matter of taste. I guess I just like the taste of Factor/REBOL always passing blocks to if, having to say t [ 0 ] [ 3 ] if instead of simply say t 0 3 if is the trade off I suppose[1]. I'm guessing it works for picolisp because it's purely interpreted? because it certainly doesn't seem to be passing lambdas to 'if'. Can anyone confirm/deny? [1]well actually the word ? does that but to make it work for both you need to do: : myif ( ? true false -- ) ? dup quotation? [ call ] [ ] if ; inline
