For software developers who need to produce highly reliable software at minimum cost, Haskell is a pure functional programming language that reduces line count by 75% through reusable higher order functions and detects latent defects with its powerful static type system. Unlike Ada and Java, Haskell allows reusable functions to be combined without the overhead of class definitions and inheritance, and its type system prevents the hidden side effects that cause many bugs in programs written in conventional languages.
If you blurt that one out to a typical IT manager, you will have a guaranteed *DUMMY MODE ON* response consisting mostly of grunts and other guttural noises. If delivered in 30 seconds, that particular passage is pretty heavy even for a Haskell programmer. Niko
