Some ideas in Haskell are easy to integrate into other languages: see list comprehensions in Python. I don't see Perl picking up pervasive laziness anytime soon, nor Python compile-time type inference.

I think perl6 is specced with pervasive laziness, although I'm not sure it's actually implemented anywhere.

I assumed it was implemented lazily, so that when you use it somewhere, the Perl 6 developers implement that part of the feature :-)

Lot of truth to that at the moment :) -- brandon s. allbery [solaris,freebsd,perl,pugs,haskell] allbery@kf8nh.com system administrator [openafs,heimdal,too many hats] allbery@ece.cmu.edu electrical and computer engineering, carnegie mellon university KF8NH
