When I want to judge a programming language I like to see a "gallery", a collection of beautiful programs. This shows me 1. what are the problems, the language developers want to tackle (does "general purpose" for the developers mean "web, XML and data base processing" or "computationally intensive numerical stuff") 2. how do they solve them, i.e. what are the special features of the language and how do they help solving the problem, what style of programming does the language support.
Well-said that man... Now, the question becomes "what examples demonstrate the things that Haskell is good at?"
