A similar point: The tutorials teach, that "=" has a similar meaning than "=" in mathematics. But there is a big difference: it is not reflexive. The the right side is the definition of the left. Thus "x=y" has still some kind of temporality, which mathematics doesn't have. Wadler himself describes bunches of lazily computed equations as "dataflows" somewhere.
The distinction between '=' and '==' is much like in C, although mixing them up is not so dangerous like in C. ':=' and '=' like in Wirth languages would be nicer.
For adapting hws (one of the reasons for me to be here, not many languages have a native web server) to Windows i must work on time.
Several people have adapted and further developed HWS: http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/Applications_and_libraries/Web_programmin... http://darcs.haskell.org/hws/ http://www.informatik.uni-freiburg.de/~thiemann/WASH/ (WSP) There is also a mailing list dedicated to Haskell and Web development: http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/web-devel
