However, I will grant you that Map k v, could have used longer type variables. But we are not alone with using one letter type variable names http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/util/HashMap.html . And frankly, in this specific case, I think most programmers (Haskell or non-Haskell) will be able to guess what k and v means, when they are standing right after Map.
Only if you can figure out that "Map" means what every other programming language on the face of the Earth calls a "dictionary". (This took me a while!)
So, when did Java leave the face of the earth?
At the same time as C++ presumably. I hadn't really noticed, but I'll be the first to say: Good riddance! -- Sebastian Sylvan +44(0)7857-300802 UIN: 44640862
