Re: [Haskell-cafe] I read somewhere that for 90% of a wide class of computing problems, you only need 10% of the source code in Haskell, that you would in an imperative language.

Sigh. Accidentally lean on the wrong key and half your text disappears. Human *verbalisation* is fundamentally sequential. Human *thinking* is not. I don't know any sign language myself, but I am aware that since people have faces and two hands, there is a limited amount of concurrency in some sign languages. (E.g., you can give place and manner at the same time.)
