As someone who does not work in a research center, and who tries to use Haskell for practical problems, I can say that I have mixed feelings about haskell-cafe: 1) My newbie questions always receive a timely answer, the answer is correct and the tone of the reply is friendly without any sign of patronization against the beginner. (Same thing on #haskell, so it is a good opportunity to thank everybody.) 2) The typical discussion and the typical subjects are very far from the ordinary programmer. If he or she reads the archives of the list before commiting herself or himself to Haskell, he or she might be scared. _______________________________________________ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
