Lately I've been following the VPRI papers around functional reactive
programming (FRP) which might also be worth a look if you're thinking about
this stuff.

I like the idea, and I like the tightly limited scope. I'll think about

It always bothered me, and still does that there isn't a Table object.
Most of my data has more than one key and more than one data items, just
like a table in a spreadsheet, or a table in SQL.
I think all of us are spending our time packing things into Arrays of
Arrays or Dictionaries of Dictionaries when the most
simple structure of a Table is what we need.
Sincerely,
Joe.
