1 - Prologue I am writing C# WEB/Desktop/Embeded applications for 3 years by now and before that, I was writing Visual C++/MFC/COM sort of things. I can say now that everything that come from microsoft is a handcraft of a saleman that has no guaranty and will break before you get home and even try it! For example see generics in C#. These thing are just a code generatore utility that is embeded in Visual Studio 2005 and Microsoft "JUST" has named it "GENERICS". For comparation see generics in Java 5.0. 2 - Question Will Haskell become another pet for Microsoft? If Yes/No, Why? (There are many issues around licensing GHC as you'v seen in this mailing list and I think Haskell already HAS some big problems that prevent others to use it confidently.)

No. This question doesn't even make sense.

Haskell is in wide academic, and commerical use. Just use it, and quit with the FUD. -- Don
Thanks Don I sense the truth in your words. But I expect a more technical view of point. I need it for presenting to other peoples i.e. to whom wanted fom me an overview of Haskell/Using It/Licensing/Libraries/Communities to be provided (BOSS!).
