Hm, okay yeah that makes sense. I'm gonna spend some time learning Haskell, I think. It sounds like a pretty interesting language.

Don't be so rash. Your sanity is at stake!

Haha, you're probably right.

One really nice thing about this is when you are mapping over a list.

>map (+3) [1,2,3]
[4,5,6]

Compare that to in scheme:
>(map (lambda (x) (+ 3 x)) '(1,2,3))
'(4,5,6)

Quite a bit shorter and nicer on the eyes too. (Not that I have anything against scheme mind you. It's a great language, but Haskell is just prettier)

If you're on this site, it's a good bet your sanity is already questionable at best.
