Your Arrow system seems pretty similar to the system I've had in mind, so I
just might understand it. Me, I prefer to write in laymen's terms... I'd be
glad to write an explanation of the Arrow system. First, of course, I'll
have to discuss it with you privately, ask you some questions, straighten
everything out. Then I'll write something short, to the point, without
jargon.

Don't give up on it, it has promise. It's functional, suitable for
metaprogramming... however, as I understand, it's got something which is
lacking in LISP, Lambda calculus, and so on... something that makes it
applicable to a wider range of problems, more useful, more understandable.

Well, this week I'm implementing my system, finally. After that, I'll give
Arrow a shot...
