As some people were advising me to peek in Lua, I did so. Well, I find it far too laxist and bug prone : weak-typing, variables which are global by default, non-existing variables which contain nil when we access them instead of failing... I mean, I like Haskell especially because it is rigorous and because the type-system continually saves the day: Lua is the total opposite. I don't hope to enjoy Haskell's tightness with a scripting language, but being interpreted and dynamically typed doesn't prevent to be somewhat painstaking (Python is, for instance)**.
