It would be funnier if that post hadn't already made the rounds at Reddit and Hacker News a few days ago. Basically, the article is written by someone who's good at Lisp and assumes that qualifies him to talk about Haskell, which he knows jack shit about. Wrap it with some weaboo and you've got yourself a crappy, misinformed article on language comparison from two years ago.
The article was pretty shitty, but it pointed me out to something I hadn't noticed before: that you can't duplicate variables in a pattern match i.e x:x:[]
A shame really, It's rather useful

You could add it yourself as a language extension, but it might be a bit of a PITA because it doesn't map cleanly to GHC core like normal pattern matching does.
