Thanks for the follow-ups but my comment wasn't really asking what unify and associate mean, I'm questioning the redundant complexity in what is supposed to be the introductory tutorial to the language.

From the submitted page, "The core language, using Scheme as the host language, is described in this short, interactive tutorial."

I think these are great points. Everything should be smooth as butter for an interested reader, and the tutorial should be so approachable and such a page-turner that the curious are hooked on page one and can't put it down.

Really---anything short of that is sub-optimal performance. I think some of it comes from new eyes reading and pointing out room for improvement. The other half is someone having the time to figure out the fix and implement it.
