Yes, it is. I wrote "eddie" to let me leverage Haskell list processing from the command line. The standard Unix tools generally cover this kind of thing fairly well, so it's only marginally useful. Windows users seem to find more use for it. http://code.google.com/eddie.

Do we use HASKELL for network programming and all?

Yup. You can find the code I wrote to extract statistical information on NCAA FBS seasons from the web at http://blog.mired.org/2012/01/analysis-of-fbs-controversies-part-i.html. While doing the fetch is a bit more complicated than using fetch (or curl, or whatever), the ease of analysis in Haskell and having the data already loaded when you want to start analysis makes up for that. <mike -- Mike Meyer <mwm@mired.org> http://www.mired.org/ Independent Software developer/SCM consultant, email for more information.
