Does Echo Nest have any patents in the area of analysis? That would be my concern about this deal. Not just for you, but for the whole area. I hope this doesn't become more grist for our borked software patent system, wherein this deal

Scheme has plenty of dirty imperative methods, if you want. Their names end with `!`, like `set!` to mutate a variable. In most cases it's cleaner to be purely functional, but it's not required. Predicates end with `?`, like `equa
