Epigrams parametrize auras. Epigrams are macros, since they are executed at read time. Epigrams crystallize incongruities. Epigrams retrieve deep semantics from a data base that is all procedure. Epigrams are more like vitamins that protein.
Epigrams have extremely low entropy.
Purely applicative languages are poorly applicable. The proof of a system's value is its existence. You can't communicate complexity, only an awareness of it. It's difficult to extract sense from strings, but they're the only communication coin we can count on. Whenever two programmers meet to criticize their programs, both are silent.
