Blimey! Talk about rearranging the deckchairs :-)

Today's xkcd seems apropos: http://xkcd.com/438/ It seems to me that if a PHP developer sees the Haskell community as a resource for advice on programming language implementation, we should take this as a compliment to the Haskell community. Repaying that compliment with "your language sucks rocks" strikes me as unwise. I'm familiar with a lot of arguments for why PHP is a poorly-designed language, and have found them sufficiently persuasive that I haven't bothered to learn PHP. But I don't see any point to repeating those arguments on this list.
