Or what the logic programming community can learn from the Haskell community (in particular):

Interesting read!
"Haskell is the undisputed flagship of the FP community." Er... really? I thought Lisp and Erlang were both infinitely more popular and better known. Followed by Clean and O'Camal. Indeed, until I stumbled across an article on Wikipidia quite by chance, I'd never even *heard* of this thing called Haskell. (Note to self: Add more links to the Haskell page on Wikipedia...) [I actually heard a number of people tell me that learning LISP would change my life forever because LISP has something called "macros". I tried to learn it, and disliked it greatly. It's too messy. And what the heck is "cdr" ment to mean anyway? To me, LISP doesn't even seem all that different from normal languages (modulo weird syntax). Now Haskell... that's FUN!]
