The joke that is Haskell stdlib

oBSERVE MY GOOD OL' FELLAS, THE JOKE THAT IS 'HASKELL STDLIB'. i DO NOT DOUBT THE EXCELLENCE IN HASKELL THEORY, BUT ALLOW ME TO MAKE FUN OF THE FRIVOLOUS LIBRARY THEY HAVE FOR STANDARD. LA-FUCKING-OWL.


-- | 'zip' takes two lists and returns a list of corresponding pairs.
-- If one input list is short, excess elements of the longer list are
-- discarded.
zip :: [a] -> [b] -> [(a,b)]
zip (a:as) (b:bs) = (a,b) : zip as bs
zip _      _      = []

;; I shall compare it with Communist Lisp
;; notice the solution is more general
;; and the documentation is built-in
(defun zip (&rest lists)
  "zip takes lists and returns corresponding pairs"
  (apply #'mapcar #'list lists))

o GUESS WAT! BAAA!!! hASKELL PROVIDES zip3 HOHOHOH. wAT ABOUT ZIP4 YOU ASSHOLES??

wAIT, WAIT. nOW IT GETS BETTER.


-- | 'unzip' transforms a list of pairs into a list of first components
-- and a list of second components.
unzip    :: [(a,b)] -> ([a],[b])
{-# INLINE unzip #-}
unzip    =  foldr (\(a,b) ~(as,bs) -> (a:as,b:bs)) ([],[])


;; La Communa lispa
(defun unzip (&rest lists)
  "list of pairs -> list of components"
  (apply #'zip lists))
oH SHIT!!!! fULL GENERAL SOLUTION WITH THE POWAH OF LISPA, HA SS KELL STDLIB IS A JOKE. dID YOU FUCKING LOL READING THIS POST?

You really need to ask yourself "Do lisp programmers need networking?" How does Haskell cope with errors? How do you design your programs? Or do you write your own error system?
