And I don't either. But indeed I've seen more references to Haskell on Python lists than on other lists: http://groups.google.com/groups?&q=group%3Acomp.lang.python+haskell - 1590 posts http://groups.google.com/groups?&q=group%3Acomp.lang.python - 219 000 threads http://groups.google.com/groups?&q=group%3Acomp.lang.java+haskell - 73 posts http://groups.google.com/groups?&q=group%3Acomp.lang.java - 85 100 threads http://groups.google.com/groups?&q=group%3Acomp.lang.perl+haskell - 35 posts http://groups.google.com/groups?&q=group%3Acomp.lang.perl - 52 700 threads http://groups.google.com/groups?&q=group%3Acomp.lang.c+haskell - 197 posts http://groups.google.com/groups?&q=group%3Acomp.lang.c - 435 000 threads http://groups.google.com/groups?&q=group%3Acomp.lang.scheme+haskell - 1330 posts http://groups.google.com/groups?&q=group%3Acomp.lang.scheme - 44 800 threads I don't know how to get the total number of posts from a group archived by Google. Assuming that average threads on these groups have the same size, Haskell is - 8 times more popular on c.l.python than c.l.java, - 11 times more popular on c.l.python than c.l.perl, - 16 times more popular on c.l.python than c.l.c, but finally - 4 times *less* popular on c.l.python than c.l.scheme, i.e. the order of Haskell-awareness is Scheme > Python > Java > Perl > C. -- __("< Marcin Kowalczyk \__/ [EMAIL PROTECTED] ^^ http://qrnik.knm.org.pl/~qrczak/ _______________________________________________ Haskell-Cafe mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
