Re: [Haskell-cafe] Non-technical Haskell question
Some of the features they are adding to c# are pretty cool. Nothing you can't do in Haskell, but it does have the advantage of familiar syntax. On the other hand they say it is easier to teach functional programming to people who have never programmed before. I was of course thinking of how to persuade someone to adopt Haskell as yet another programming language. Marc Charpentier wrote:

Erik Meijer wrote also this (http://research.microsoft.com/~emeijer/): Check out my blog for more nonsense This invitation actually makes some sense ;) Personally, I don't care much if the so-called industry adopts Haskell. I manage to use Haskell at my job and to get my co-workers interested in it. Haskell is fun to use, and at the same time allows me to make some really good and robust programs. Here I would like to thank all those people, whose hard work on Haskell's theory, implementations, tools, libraries and applications made it possible. Thank you! Best regards, Tomasz
