Hi, Panagiotis.
The wc program is a good choice for a learning program, but it reveals a long-standing weakness in Haskell: Lazy-IO.
Is it really a weakness of Haskell or just something one has to get used to it? That is a question I would like to get opinions from the experts! It is for sure something a beginner stumbles upon. E.g. I (as a beginner) stumbled upon Lazy IO but the guys out here helped me a great deal to get over it, and I'm sure they will help me again if I'll stumble again (which might happen). -- Manfred
