1. Haskell Class/Type famillies/... are conceptually different then classes and interfaces. 2. As .Net does not differentiate between IO a and a Haskell cannot feel completely native (hand-made FFI or everything in IO) 3. .Net does differentiate between variables and functions with 0 arguments. 4. .Net types are not lazy. String is not [Char]. Arrays are used in many places. Regards
