Re: [Haskell-cafe] Lazy evaluation from "Why Functional programming matters"

Yes. It would slightly easier in, say,  C# or C++. I think 'D' achieves its implementation of the 'lazy' keyword using a similar approach. But I did not understand why you are disappointed ?

The disappointment was not on a serious note ... the thing is, I constantly run into discussions about "why fp" with my colleagues - in a few of such discussions, I had mentioned that Haskell is the only well known language with lazy evaluation (IIRC, I read it somewhere or heard it in one of the videos) And I had built up this impression that laziness distinguished Haskell by a huge margin ... but it seems that is not the case. Hence the disappointment. -- Regards, Kashyap
