Re: [Haskell-cafe] Language simplicity

Haskell '98 apparently features 25 reserved words. (Not counting "forall" and "mdo" and so on, which AFAIK are not in Haskell '98.)

21 actually. case, class, data, default, deriving, do, else, if, import, in, infix, infixl, infixr, instance, let, module, newtype, of, then, type, where. There's also three special words that can still be used as identifiers, so aren't reserved: as, qualified, hiding. /Niklas
