Hmm. We don't deny that C is important. However importance of hammer does not make screwdriver unimportant. While you can say that you can use screwdriver like a hammer (like you can use Haskell to do imperative programming or vice versa) it is usually terribly inefficient and/or inelegant. > Why cannot C programmer use haskell ? (S)He can. However (s)he have to redefine him/herself from being C programmer. As real programmer can program in Fortran in any language you can program in any language in Haskell. You just shouldn't (as you shouldn't program in X in Y for nearly any X != Y). > And Why does haskell > support C code style ? > And BTW. Haskell have no 'C' style. You probably refer to do syntax sugar which is: - Not really C-style. It have syntax nowhere like C - Only partially in traditional imperative style as it do distinguish still between pure and unpure computation - It can be use for much more then crude C
