Speaking of lambdas and gotos, some of you may remember the great Professor Eiichi Goto of Japan. You can see an obituary at: http://www.sigsam.org/bulletin/articles/153/goto.pdf He was one of the Japanese pioneers of Lisp, symbolic computing, and architectural support for symbolic computing. He was one of the developers of "hash-consing". He used to joke about his own name, along the lines of: "I'm considered harmful. They're all trying to get rid of me." Nikhil
