As there are so far relatively few Haskell programs listed (~100), perhaps an interested party might go through and do a sanity check on them.

Where are you seeing 100 Haskell programs? I'm seeing 9. (http://en.literateprograms.org/Category:Programming_language:Haskell) It was the low number that made me think a whole bunch of code dumps (the explanations can be edited in later on a much more leisurely basis) would be a good idea. At any rate, I think I have fixed the problems with the original implementation. Could somebody please vet http://en.literateprograms.org/Sieve_of_Eratosthenes_%28Haskell%29 and tell me if it's OK and if not either let me know what I did wrong or fix it? -- Michael T.

I realize in hindsight that my wording could have been a little less flippant. Thanks for contributing to that website.

I'm.... Happy to hear that. Now if you could point out where you were offensive I'll even understand. :) (Or did you think I was the original author of the Sieve thing? If so, don't worry. I wasn't. I'm the author of the current version, though.) I've decided to use that site as my own place to hammer out my Haskell issues. I'm familiar with a lot of languages represented there, so I'll take a look at what other people do in those and write Haskell equivalents. I'll then post the URLs here and have you kind people put me in my place for how awful my code is. ;)

Now pardon me while I enter a shame spiral to atone for my needless hostility...

Umm... Sure. Whatever. Just let me know when you come out of the spiral so that I can understand why you entered it, OK? -- Michael T.
