Some features like upvars have no correlation in Scheme or Smalltalk, even though they might appear to be like other familiar features, therefore using upvars in a purely functional way as a notation for reified parameters is bound to fail.

I don't know (and don't care) about "very large stream operations" with "promises" and whatnot, and I'm especially suspicious about all those hacks that desperately attempt to programmatically create or rebind variables, instead there must be a way more straightforward way for all of this. Don't think Scheme, think what it is you want to accomplish!

so jens basically hates this? but hes googly eyes over javascript prototypes? which you hate... god how come the stuff i want to make has to have some war raging on about it that i dont care about. but check it out, i had an idea; link
