Haskell strengts as I see them: ... - it has a compiler ... Is there anything you would like to add ?
Higher-order functions, purity, pattern-matching, no-nonsense syntax, algebraic data types, ... From your list, I agree to add "some pattern matching abilities" to mine, but that it all.
Oh, it is anyway very generous of you. But tell me: do you *understand* the remaining issues, notably the purity?

PS. For Henning T.: Don't worry, the "slogan battle" won't start again. The discussion level is not appropriate. Although we can, of course, add to this damned page the ad: "people, use Haskell! It has a compiler!"
Not a bad advantage --- Haskell is much faster than any mainstream language with a tenth its feature set. Of course, so is any other language with a tenth its feature set, but I don't see how anyone using Scheme or ML is anymore a bad thing for Haskell... jcc
