1 - Prologue I am writing C# WEB/Desktop/Embeded applications for 3 years by now and before that, I was writing Visual C++/MFC/COM sort of things. I can say now that everything that come from microsoft is a handcraft of a saleman that has no guaranty and will break before you get home and even try it! For example see generics in C#. These thing are just a code generatore utility that is embeded in Visual Studio 2005 and Microsoft "JUST" has named it "GENERICS". For comparation see generics in Java 5.0. 2 - Question Will Haskell become another pet for Microsoft? If Yes/No, Why? (There are many issues around licensing GHC as you'v seen in this mailing list and I think Haskell already HAS some big problems that prevent others to use it confidently.)
