Re: [Haskell-cafe] Haskell as an extension language

Off-topic, so stop reading now if you want ;-) , but reminds me of my experience using Python and C++. Python and C++ are both great languages, with their own strengths, and one might think that combining thing gets the best of both. However, using Swig etc to join Python to C++ takes a significant amount of time, and one needs project members now to learn two languages. Then I discovered a different language (not Haskell) that combined the ease of Python with the speed of C++. It's really a big advantage.
