Maybe we should try and hijack the phrase functional programming - Haskell is just too similar to Pascal.

This reminds me of when I was getting an X-ray a few months ago and I struck up a conversation with the radiologist who turned out to be an ex-computer programmer so he asked what language I was using so I said "Haskell" and he said something like "Oh yeah Pascal I know that..." Perhaps we need a tutorial on how to pronounce the word "Haskell" so that it doesn't sound like "Pascal" :-) (eg "Hiskeeeell") Brian. -- http://www.metamilk.com
