Example Usage of ALGOL
	patmaddox: @dastels @pbiegaj Ruby took a bunch of ALGOL-style programmers and taught them lambda. Old news on the lang front, but social breakthrough
	aswang: Apparently it's ALGOL's fault--/\ was the 'and' operator and \/ was the 'or' operator... re: http://ff.im/cnJ1x
	dastels: @pbiegaj who saying Ruby's a modern language? It's just the latest version of ALGOL.
