Sometimes I wonder what the hell I might have been thinking while writing code like this1 :

1
2
3
4
5
6
7

def uncurry(f):
    return lambda t: f(*t)
 
def longest_common_prefix(Sa, Sb):
    return len(list(
        takewhile(uncurry(eq),
                  izip(Sa, Sb))))
  1. I bet the tenses are all wrong again. [↩]
