ANOTHER TIMBOT
As I
was saying
(despite
this),
there apparently aren't enough words.
Frequent readers of comp.lang.python probably have a
few names highlighted -- among them are likely to be
Guido, Alex Martelli ... and Tim Peters, aka the "Timbot".
Well, Timbot, meet
TIMBOT.
A year or two ago, I took a look at the O'Haskell distribution
(that is not the Irish version of Haskell).
I wrote a couple of small test programs.
I had thought it was a merge of Object-Oriented Programming with the
pure non-strict Functional Programming that is Haskell's heart.
Not quite: O'Haskell's objects are more like active
agents (they say "reactive")
than like the objects Python folks would picture.
Timber is a continuation of the development
of O'Haskell, and the Timber project has built a
TIMBOT.
(Beware that last link if you're on a dial-up: it has
several images that are over a megabyte.)

Ack! Tim Peters wrote me , pointing out three other Timbots:

Yipes, they're gonna take over!
