So how about it? Can anyone beat 298 for a Haskell programming unit? For the record, I teach more advanced aspects of FP to (this year) 38 students, too.

Sorry Lyndon, we (melbourne uni) had 767 students sit our first year subject which teaches Haskell. We teach it again in second semester too, with over a hundred students.

Computing 1A (taught in Haskell) at Uni of New South Wales has two streams with 731 + 247 students (the second stream is for good students who want some more challenge). In second semester, we have about 600 students in that course.

Maybe together we can make Australia the most Haskellised country in the world!

We stand a good chance, I would say.

It's a small contribution, I know, but can I throw in 90 students at Sydney Uni? Admittedly, most of the course was Prolog this year, much to my chagrin: I'd much rather be marking Haskell scripts. mrak
