Re: [Haskell-cafe] Is Haskell a 5GL?

Hi,

...

and/or visual programming (Visual Basic,...)

I can only assume you are a) joking

a bit, yes

, or b) not a visual basic user.

also true

While Visual Basic is a much insulted language, I have a soft spot for it. However, its not a Visual programming language - its a language which happens to have a GUI API and a bit of IDE support. Its resolutely a 3GL, roughly akin to Java, in my opinion.

I'd agree but I found the info in the web

...

The question is: how strong is the influence of laziness in everyday Haskell programming?

I'd say very strong, lots of times a "where" is used thats making use of laziness.

I don't agree: "where" is often only used to program in a top-down style Cheers -- Christoph
