Haskell and functional programming in whole just need to have larger teaching base: courses, books and so on. and PhDs will always find some tricky ideas just to prove that they are smarter than other people ;) -- Best regards, Bulat mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
