balance
Stop right there. Any further word about what the Taiji means would only make you look even more clueless. Take a scale if you want a symbol for balance[1]. OTOH, laziness(yin) and strictness(yang) make a far better pair of unified opposites than the schemeish eval and apply (which's outer essences are both yang, changing to yin only by means of what they execute[2]). Still, you wouldn't represent the Maybe monad with >>=, now would you? Instantiating a symbol for a general principle to whatever you like constitutes pocketing. Anyway, I think it's too late for logo submissions. Personally, I just love the lambda-bind, it's truly haskellish, sleek, appropriately cryptic and lends itself well to ascii-art. What about a chicken holding a curry dispenser? In any case, I don't think a sloth is a bad choice as a mascot: It's most likely the most efficient animal on earth, and seeing it, you're bound to be mystified how it manages to get anything done. Water overcomes stone: Shapeless, it requires no opening: The benefit of taking no action. Yet benefit without action, And experience without abstraction, Are practiced by very few. [1] Or the vector equilibrium (note the word "libra" in there): http://www.angelfire.com/mt/marksomers/91.html It's also the reason why cutting a pizza into anything else but six pieces is an abomination to geometry.[2] [2] While I'm at it: The tips of the pinky, index finger, and thumb form a tetrahedron together with the center of mass in your palm while holding such a piece. What do you make of that? [3] And are therefore better explained in terms of hodge and podge -- (c) this sig last receiving data processing entity. Inspect headers for copyright history.
