One of the things that I love about Haskell is the syntax for creating user defined types. E.g.:
Data QueryResult = NoResult | DatabaseError String | Results [String]
I can prototype an entire program around these self-made types and it is a lot of fun. Out of intellect curiosity, though: what would be the equivalent construction in C or C++? (Say, for the type defined above).
