I recently put it thus to a friend: When it's hard writing a program in Haskell, it is usually because Haskell makes you think about what you are doing, and as a consequence you end up doing your thinking sooner rather than later. This usually ends with better software with fewer bugs. cheers, T. -- Thomas Conway [EMAIL PROTECTED] Silence is the perfectest herald of joy: I were but little happy, if I could say how much. _______________________________________________ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
