so it's Python but functional?

  It takes whitespace to the extreme, too. I like everything but the "statements span multiple lines" instead of using comma seperated values. I think CSV syntax is clearer and more concise than having newlines act a seperators like that, and it is easier to read. I like high information density languages with minimum glyphic overhead. That means python is close to the top, but I also consider C++ competitive because it has a lot of expressionism in its verbosity. I also rank YAML high because it has barely any glyphic overhead but still conveys high information in a frame. It is why I use K&R braces, because I use indentation to deliminate scopes, and having extra semicolons on lines by themselves breaks my information density and drives me nuts, because I like having a consistent per-line flow (I don't mind blank lines though, because I just treat them as null, but one character lines require processing, just not enough to warrant them worth existing in my crazy head).

  Isn't that a very shallow parallel?

  No, it's Haskell, but strict and with dynamic typing. So it's actually closer to Lisp.
