Of particular note here is Vyper implemented in OCAML, which adds tail calls, list comprehensions, lexical scoping, full garbage collection, and pattern matching to Python...
I was unable to run Vyper (after solving problems with compilation it does just SIGSEGV). But list comprehensions, lexical scoping and an improved garbage collection (cycles are collected) are already in CPython (well, lexical scoping is in beta versions). Python is changing quite fast. -- __("< Marcin Kowalczyk * qrczak@knm.org.pl http://qrczak.ids.net.pl/ \__/ ^^ SYGNATURA ZASTÊPCZA QRCZAK
