I'm what you'd call a busy man: university classes to follow, huge amount of stuff to learn, a master degree to achieve, and (obviously) teachers are dumb as fuck... So I tought to myself: hat's better than learning a functional language just to make some experiments?
Yes, maybe you will start arguing on how dumb functional language are, and how difficult is using it for a non-teorical purpose, but I need to work with hands on, so that's it.
I already studied OCaml in my bachelor days, but I basically forgot it... Some days ago I've downloaded and installed the Hugs interpreter, and now I'm throwing some spare time (if any) on Haskell.
Why? Haskell seems like a nice language, but it appears a bit restrictive with its type system. I know O'Caml as well, but my current favorite language is Common Lisp. Maybe one day I'll go and learn Haskell in detail, but for now, I have plenty of other things to code, and the language I'm using is very useful in helping me solve my problems.

non-teorical
What horrid cross-languaging was that?
