Re: [Haskell-cafe] Re: How did you stumble on Haskell?

I've always found recursive solutions to problems elegant and I've always been fed up of people telling me that I should rewrite recursive solutions iteratively. (Annoying as it is, many people do that.) I complained about this on K5 and solicited some opinions from others on whether or not they would choose the recursive or iterative solutions to problems. Someone called jacob said something like "why choose when in Haskell they're the same thing?". Guilt-free recursion! That was the turning point.
