Sometimes, you just need an excuse

To play with parenthesis again.
(define (unzip file) 
           (run (unzip ,file)))

(for-each unzip (glob "*.zip"))
A few minutes before, after my n-th failure to remember another syntax in a shell script:
$ sudo port install scsh
I have to admit that I still have a soft spot for Lisp and Scheme, even after years without writing a line of code. After all, it was the second language I learnt - well before Pascal or C, and the LISP book was one of the first in my CS shelf, and was joined a few years ago by the utterly brilliant book by Christian Queinnec describing the magic in LISP implementations.
