I'm quite interested in haskell, but there is something I don't understand(intuitively). I've been crawling the web for an answer, but nothing talks to me...
So I was hoping I could find some help here:
"How is evaluating an _expression_ different from performing action?"
I'm puzzled... Doesn't it amount to the same thing? Maybe I have a wrong definition of "evaluating"(determine the value of an _expression_)?
Examples would be appreciated.
Also, just for kicks, may I had this: I read the code of some haskell-made programs and was astonished. Yes! It was clean and all, but there were "do"s everywhere... Why use a function language if you use it as an imperative one?(i.e. most of the apps in http://haskell.org/practice.html)
Thanks in advance,
