Mmm, the man has a point...
I guess it's kinda hard to explain in just a few words why Haskell is
actually so damn cool. I mean, you can write "it enables you to write
less code". (Ever heard that one before?) Or you could say "it makes
your programs more reliable" (er, yes, I believe we've heard that all
before too). Or even, "it enables you to easily harness multicore
computing" (except that it isn't true - yet). Hmm... so we seem to have
a choice between verbose statements that nobody is going to read, or
hopeful promises of "better" which we can't substansiate. Oh dear...
