RE: [Haskell-cafe] I read somewhere that for 90% of a wide classof computing problems, you only need 10% of the source code in Haskell, that you would in an imperative language.

That might be true, but the calculus and even arithmetic were once considered 
obscure.

Mmm, to the average student calculus is still very obscure ;-)
