One of the people in the capacity crowd at the Haskell workshop was none other than Gerry Sussman, who was finally learning Haskell for the first time (doubtless after several decades of overexposure to parentheses). He pronounced the workshop "pretty good", which I believe is MIT-speak for "OMG teh awesome!"

He'll tell later its not his type of language and quietly leave the Haskell book on the stack of discarded papers.

You wish. Haskell is the future! Haskell is the way!

Admit it, lipthfags.

Most LISPers I meet quite enjoy Haskell. You must be confused.

Most LISPers I meet hate everything that doesn't have homogayiconity and macros

Those are trolls, sir. Not real LISPers. They bring great shame to THE SUSSMAN

* Haskell is unusable.
* Lisp is unreadable.
* Anything else will give you homicidal impulses towards the language author, culminating in your own suicide.

Pick your poison.

It looks like that shitty DSL of "in Lisp" guy.

Does The Sussman even write Scheme programs?

I like both, but I learn Haskell first. It seems like if it was the other way around, I might have hated Haskell when I started learning it.

What does he write?

Name: Anonymous 2011-09-28 17:35



for me at least

the best of haskell

is the separation

of concerns



I write the algorithm

        in one module



  on a second one



I call it with

       Control.

Parallel.Strategies

         to make it

parallel





on another

I call it

utilizing a lazy feature of the algo.

on another 

I just make IO and Gui.



        then i cum into her hot sister 

    three times

 in a row
