A shorter and lighter and and also interesting and entertaining read is:
http://research.microsoft.com/~simonpj/Papers/haskell-retrospective/index.ht... Just read it, quoting: `Tony Hoare’s comment: “I fear that Haskell is doomed to succeed”` LOL! Very good stuff If Haskell wasn't pure, I would not spent so much time trying to bend my over-imperative mind to it. I had it with impure languages, way to tricky. Those languages were nice when I was young & reckless :) But I'm amazed that impure (albeit strong) languages like LISP and Scheme are still used for projects... I mean, in Scheme you can "set!" the addition operator to become a multiplication operator at runtime, modifying global behavior... Now that's a side effect, C/C++ is nothing compared to that! So I guess that with such great power comes great responsibility? Peter
