The fact that this is accomplished in a language where whitespace really matters impressed me the most.

Whitespace can matter, but ; counts as a newline and you can have any whitespace inside an expression that you want. Typically you'll write something like:

   some_function( with, lots,
                  of args )
but you can also use that flexibility to make your source code look like a badass fucking fractal too.

Ok, I haven't actually logged in for over 12 months and kept to pure occasional lurking, but you made me do it just to vote up your JoCo reference.

Look what you've done.

Thanks! That song is up there among my favorites, but it does make me sad every time I listen to it. "Mandelbrot's in heaven" indeed...
