The sad thing is that it's almost believable. For the last few days,
there have been a series of stories about patients dying due to
medication errors. What really made an impression on me, though, was
a few years ago when I was asked to develop a parser driven tool to
build a dependency graph. I think it's unfortunate that the software
we depend on has grown so complex that no one person can really
understand it. What appeals to me about Haskell is how much more
transparent well written (at least) code in Haskell is than C, Java
or MUMPS.
Oh, and I did find it entertaining.
