But, Haskell..., it's so well thought out, so evolved, the best of all functional programming in one, the ability to handle infinite lists, the lazy evaluation, the strict type checking, the compiler that catches whole classes of bugs, the curt syntax, the ability to breathe it like pure thought, the clarity like maths...
Okay, sorry, I better leave the room too.
Haskell is pretty cool, I really like Scala too. It's a bit easier to understand for me :P
Reasoning about memory use is kind of hard though.
Sorry, Clojure is newer and fancier.
Better if you need the ability to unintentionally shoot yourself in the foot.
And love reading ten pages of Java stack trace.
How else am I to justify my purchase of a widescreen monitor?
