Re: [Haskell-cafe] Why Haskell is beautiful to the novice

Nice comparison indeed.

They would leak space if you didn’t know you had to use `xrange` instead of `range`.

I might have run into that as well. I don't really know Python that well. It is a problem I never came across in any imperative languages, so I foolishly assumed it wouldn't happen in Python either. But as you said they seem to have fixed it. Still, I would think the python space leak is relatively easy to spot and explain. Esp. when compared to tail-recursion modulo Constructors. Silvio
