One of this differences between Haskell and Clean I did not see mentioned in this discussion is that Clean does not allow so-called partial parametrisation. I.e. all function calls have to be fully saturated
I don't understand what you mean. Can you give an example ?
I think the idea was that Clean doesn't support a syntax like "map (**2)"
This terminology is new to me, I would normally call that "partial application". Googling "partial parametrization" gives me some papers¹ that appear to use this term as a synonym. I'm surprised that (if) Clean doesn't support it. -k ¹ http://cat.inist.fr/?aModele=afficheN&cpsidt=5420616 and http://www.springerlink.com/content/wg64116566522061/ -- If I haven't seen further, it is by standing in the footprints of giants
