Am I the only person who finds it interesting/worrying that there are few to no people in the group who are ex-C# programmers. I mean, you could argue that C# programmers are simply too stupid to do Haskell, but ... you know, there is another explanation ;-)
I wouldn't say too stupid, but it may be a cultural thing. People working in C++ are more likely to be doing what I would call "technical" programming, and correspondingly more likely to be interested in Haskell, and to appreciate what it has to offer from painful personal experience. From what I know of the marketplace, people working in C# are more likely to be doing client/integration work where technical finesse is less important, and are therefore less likely to see the point. cheers, T. -- Dr Thomas Conway drtomc@gmail.com Silence is the perfectest herald of joy: I were but little happy, if I could say how much.
