Laziness at the value level causes space leaks, and laziness at the type level causes mind leaks. Neither are much fun.

If the designers could find a way to support laziness at the programmer level I for one would be very grateful.

I believe I saw a specification for such a language once. Unfortunately it was also lazy at the ontological level, and since nothing logically required the spec to exist it actually didn't. - C.
