- it is "lazy with class" - it is strongly typed - it has automatic memory management - it has a standard library - it has a compiler - it is available on several platforms - it has a community - it is free
There MUST be at least two adjectives added: it has a FAST compiler (compare to MzScheme for example) it is strongly and PARAMETRICALLY typed And perhaps it has MONADS I am learning Haskell 3 weeks now and have the common difficulties to understand them, but at the first sight this seems an extremely flexible and nevertheless clean solution to the problem. And it doesn't stop at monads, there are comonads and arrows too. And all this very actively and countiuously revised and developed further.
