While perusing the newsgroups, I came across a post (of the same subject
as above, if you want to find it on deja news) by Bertrand Meyer (Eiffel)
suggesting "Haskell (http://www.haskell.org) shouldn't really be a
separate programming language, but rather an Eiffel library." and that
someone should write it. I think this is driven by the recent addition of
closure like 'agents' (http://www.eiffel.com/doc/manuals/language/agent/).
in eiffel (including anonymous functions). It is not clear what this
library should do (lazy evaluation maybe?) but I was quite fascinated to
see that Meyer is learning the joys of haskell :)
Just proves that all languages will eventually evolve to become
haskell :) <* VERY BIG GRIN! *>
