[Haskell-cafe] commenting out a line of code

15 Nov 2016

      Dear Cafe -

Sometimes, a comment can change the meaning of a program.
No? Well, but "commenting out" a line of code certainly does.
So, can you guess what this program will output?

main = do
  if True
    then do
      putStrLn "A"
    else do
      -- putStrLn "B"
  putStrLn "done"

I nominate this for inclusion in a hypothetical
Haskell equivalent of http://www.javapuzzlers.com/

- J.
