One thing I'm curious about is Haskell versus Python or Ruby. Code in those languages is, IMO, prone to type related bugs because there is no compile-time checking. On the other hand, I would expect the density' of the code to be similar to Haskell. You can do a lot of the same things, although they support an OO programming style too.

Haven't you heard? Enough unit tests give you almost the same security as a good static type system at the expense of more code! Uh, wait, why is that an advantage again? :p -- Ivan Lazar Miljenovic Ivan.Miljenovic@gmail.com IvanMiljenovic.wordpress.com
