P.S. Why do so many people (including me) seem to come to Haskell from Python? It can't be just the indentation, can it? ;)
I did. (Or: from Java via Python.) I don't think it's the indentation. At least, not *just* that. FWIW, I speculate: 1. Python users have already chosen expressivity over efficiency 2. For all that it's a "rapid" development language, and being dynamically typed, Python doesn't completely abandon discipline in program construction. #g ------------ Graham Klyne For email: http://www.ninebynine.org/#Contact
