267, 762, 102541 students learning Haskell? That's great. But I am far from any internal satisfaction. I would prefer to read: A. We teach computer graphics showing all the algorithms in Haskell; the assignments include building a ray tracer, a VRML parser, scripting engine, etc., and a SVG interpreter. B. We teach compilation using functional paradigms. Not only monadic parsers and lazy attribute propagation, but building continuation-based virtual machines, pedagogic, but quite efficient type checking/inference system, and other goodies. Even the garbage collection is *described* functionally (in monadic style). C. The algorithmic layer of our Signal Processing course is entirely based on Haskell. D. A substantial part of our Hardware Architecture course exploits Haskell as a nice description/integration language. E. Artificial Intelligence? Sure. We still use a bit of Prolog, but most of our stuff has been rewritten, and now Haskell dominates. ==== Etc. It is just a sick dream? Jerzy Karczmarczuk Caen, France
