Quote of the Week

I’m also pretty sure that most languages would not go that far. The idea that the type plugged in has only one possible value, therefore it doesn’t need to be stored and methods on that don’t care about the self reference is pretty neat.

– Michael 'vorner' Vaner on his blog

Thanks to llogiq for the suggestion!
