I would say that is more elegant that loops. Recursion is the natural way to make a tree. The code will certainly be smaller with recursion. But you can do it either way with Euphoria. > Using loops is an un-Euphorian concept? Using pbr is an un-Euphorian > concept? I don't think so. > I'm not against pbr.

Pbr would not break Eu's concepts. > No, it wouldn't, and if it was added I wouldn't complain. But I doubt I would use it much. Nevertheless, you missed the original point, again. (About your psyche, not about functional programming and whether or not Eu has side-effects.)
