    I think the guy might be over his bandwidth service limit. I reported the issue to the internal Y! service team so hopefully if it isn't a bandwidth quota thing the site should be back up shortly. Frustratingly it's not in either the Goog or Y! caches or on Internet Archive. :(

  Hmm... This guy clearly hasn't seen any functional languages (he thinks that patterns are his invention). Not that interesting.

  The page is broken: "Service Temporarily Unavailable". I guess that's why you shouldn't host your pages on GeoCities.

    The bandwidth for the account was used up. Figures, seeing as the page is up here on news.yc.

  For those who couldn't see the page: The most interesting feature of this language is that all functions commute over lists. For example: [2,3,5,7,9,11].at(3) returns 7, but if you pass a list to 'at' instead: [2,3,5,7,9,11].at([1,3,4]) you get [3,7,9]. This means you don't need functions like 'map' to apply a function to a list. You just call the function on the list and it automatically commutes. It works for trees too: [2,3,5,7,9,11].at([1,[2,3],4]) returns [3,[5,7],9].
