Killing Primitive Loops and Conditionals

Looks like the object-oriented version of what's possible in the lambda calculus:

  true = lambda(x,y) -> x
  false = lambda(x,y) -> y
  if = lambda(pred,then,else) -> pred(then,else)

Groovy, helped me learn something about conditionals without the extra syntax for brevity.

I'm partial to iterators that look like "for each" for loops. You say recursion, I say tomato.

His while can be written more concisely, I think:

  Ether :: while: condition do: block {
    if: condition call then: {
      block call
      while: condition do: block
    }
  }

Looks like Smalltalk.
