Hi Andrew,

To save others the search, here's the/a reddit URL: http://www.reddit.com/r/programming/related/nhnyd/nfa_in_a_single_line_of_haskell/ .

The terribly misleading/mistaken remarks on fib & memoization are still in your post. As hammar commented on reddit commenter, you're not memoizing in that example; just shadowing one fib definition with another (very partial) one. (BTW, I highly recommend compiling with -Wall in all cases and then addressing all reported issues. Doing so would have issued a shadowing warning.)

Another comment:

As a declarative language, Haskell manipulates expressions, eventually reducing expressions to values.

Huh? In what sense do declarative languages manipulate expressions? Sounds like a classic syntax/semantics confusion, especially when interpreters and/or lazy evaluation (implementation issues, not language properties) are in the mix.

Regards, - Conal

I've gotten mixed feedback from Reddit for my tutorial. It provides an overview of how functional and declarative programming in Haskell empower baddies, increasing the accuracy and efficiency of their atomic superweapons. What do you guys think of my tutorial, Haskell for the Evil Genius?

Cheers,
