At least one. (Me) And, judging from the amount of references to Python in these mailing-lists, I really doubt I'm the only one. I actually met Haskell mostly by reading about it in the python mailinglist/newsgroup. (in e.g. Alex Martelli's posts) Someone else (who shall remain anonymous.

(Messier-than-Haskell sure, but messy? ;o) Groetjes, Remi P.S. Hm, it _is_ haskell-cafe, but maybe it's about time for a [Off-topic] note? ;) -- Nobody can be exactly like me. Even I have trouble doing it. _______________________________________________ Haskell-Cafe mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
