This is an interesting trade-off: if we suppose that the most enterprising and creative (i.e. talented) [language] hackers are most susceptible to be lured over to Haskell, this strategy will increase the average quality of software overall, while simultaneously decreasing the average quality of code in both languages! > Note also that there are many classes of people who fit the "quick and > dirty" category. Encourage them to learn Haskell and only be quick. -k -- If I haven't seen further, it is by standing in the footprints of giants _______________________________________________ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
