I say "competition", but.. at the moment I'm only aware of a single Haskell-tan, namely the one at http://www.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/9ss7n/haskell%E3%82%BF%E3%83%B3.... This cannot stand. Haskell needs an anthropomorphized personification, like any other modern language. Anyway, have any of you seen any others? -- Svein Ove Aas
Just a note: Haskell and 'tan' in one sentence, combined with some girlish flavour, makes me think about Audrey TANg. On 10 Oct 2009, at 23:02, Svein Ove Aas wrote:

What about Lambdabot?
The official (?) personification of Lambdabot is OK, but lacks moe[1], which the OP seems to intend by using the suffix '-tan'. In any case, she represents Lambdabot only, not Haskell in general. I'll try and give this one a shot over the weekend. Have fun! [1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moe_anthropomorphism -- Ariel J. "askyle" Birnbaum

A lambdabot-specific personification is fine too, but I agree that it lacks charm. Though I wonder, where should we put these? Having the lambdabot one on the lambdabot page is fine, but haskell-tan would have to be stuck on the front page. Which seems a bit too much. -- Svein Ove Aas
