The difference in use would be that instead of doing fmt.Format(“My Message!”) you'd do something like fmt.Format.With(“My Message!”) (yes I read your EDSL post ;) ) I think the traditional OO alternative to this idea would be using composition with interfaces.

OK, so it's not *that* early. I needed something to get my brain juiced and this did the trick. :) Ideas like this make me wonder if we're not moving more and more toward a super-massive language which can be both static and dynamic at the same time, depending on how you use it. Which naturally makes me wonder if such wicked-coolness would result in a productivity boon as developers realize the power... or will it become overly abused and come to represent all that is wrong with the world. Discuss amongst yourselves. Yeah, so maybe that's a bit extreme... but I think those are true questions and concerns that we will need to face at some point. But for now, let us bask in the hotness that is Functional Magic. Magic so early in the morning, ugh!
