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

I soon realized that everything I liked about Python had been borrowed from Haskell in diluted form.

I do not think you are entirely right here; a lot of things were borrowed from a language called ABC, See: http://homepages.cwi.nl/~steven/abc/

True. I wasn't claiming that most of Python itself came from Haskell; just the things I liked most about it. But you're still right - there are probably things that I liked about Python that didn't really come from Haskell - but Haskell has them, nonetheless. I wonder if ABC's layout rules were inspired by ML and/or Landin's off-side rule, or were developed independently. Regards, Yitz
