Re: [Haskell-cafe] I read somewhere that for 90% of a wide class of computing problems, you only need 10% of the source code in Haskell, that you would in an imperative language.

I really doubt people tend to think in either way. It's not even sure our thinking can be modeled with computing no? On Wed, Sep 30, 2009 at 1:58 PM, Jochem Berndsen wrote:

Sounds more like Mr C++ fundamentally thinks in an imperative way because that's what he is used to.

This may or may not be true. It would be interesting to see some research on this. Without that, I think we cannot decide either way. Cheers, Jochem
