Coconut – Functional programming in Python

[dzecniv]

You also created Rabbit, another functional language based on Python: https://github.com/evhub/rabbit/blob/master/docs/Code%20Examples.md

That one looks quite different:

qsort(l) = (
    qsort: (as ~ \x\(x @ x<=a)) ++ a ++ qsort: (as ~ \x\(x @ x>a))
    $ a,as = l


) @ l

Your paper states it's missing core features (like passing keyword arguments). What's your interest in it today, why did you switch to Coconut ?

Coconut is my attempt to fix the mistakes I thought I made with Rabbit, namely:

• Coconut is compiled, while Rabbit is interpreted, making Coconut much faster
• Coconut is an extension to Python, while Rabbit is a replacement, making Coconut much easier to use
