"Flatland: A Romance of Many Dimensions" by Edwin A. Abbott.
> Written pseudonymously by "A Square", the book used the fictional two-dimensional world of Flatland to comment on the hierarchy of Victorian culture, but the novella's more enduring contribution is its examination of dimensions.
I was motivated to write it in response to one of Quora's Programming Challenges (http://www.quora.com/about/challenges). It seemed like a fun problem, and I had never had a good reason to read through the applicable RFCs. I wonder if furl was similarly motivated?
I don't find the standard library modules very difficult to use, however, so I haven't spent much more time on it since then.
Thanks. I should have done a more thorough search before submitting this. I was honestly surprised that this particularly link hadn't been posted before, and now we see that this paper has nearly a half-dozen URIs on the same site. Bummer.
We're a mobile games company that focuses on using real-world elements (e.g. location) as part of our entertainment experiences. We're primarily focused on iOS development right now, but we have a lot of cross-platform (Android, Flash, Mac, PC, etc.) experience in-house as well.

There are four parts to this program:
(1) Strachey's checkers program in CPL:
OriginalCPLprogram is the original program, verbatim
ModifiedCPLprogram fixes a typo and two small conceptual problems
(2) A parser for the CPL language. This is encoded in the external
file 'cpl.g', which is then processed by yapps2.py to produce cpl.py,
which we then import, allowing us to use cpl.parse on ModifiedCPLprogram.
(3) Functions described but not implemented by Strachey (such as Null and Shift).
(4) Variable definitions and functions not listed by Strachey.
(5) Test cases.
jStat is a statistical library written in JavaScript that allows you
to perform advanced statistical operations without the need of a
dedicated statistical language (i.e. MATLAB or R).
Another way to look at it is as an adapter to a "new" WSGI interface specification. The fact that it's backwards compatibile allows it to be used with existing WSGI tools, but future WSGI Lite-compatible software could implement the Lite API directly.
That being said, I've only briefly looked over the WSGI Lite code and neither advocate nor criticize its direction.
