Hi Sigbjorn,

| unlines ["a","b"] ==> "a\nb\n"
| unwords ["a","b"] ==> "a b"

| unl
Here is a concern:
At present, a final \n in lines' input is optional, because a line is
ended by either a \n or the end of the string. Consequently lines "a"
and lines "a\n" have the same value ( ["a"] ). This seems a desirable
feature that is worth preserving.
Consider the composition lines.u

I like that
unwords (ls1 ++ [unwords ls2]) == unwords (ls1 ++ ls2)
but not that 'unlines' does
Back to the language wars then.
It does seem like integration of Haskell and the NGWS is a graunch, largely
because Haskell is not OO.
Is there anything preventing Haskell from becoming OO and seamlessly fitting
into the NGWS? Or from designing a functional language that would be a good
fit into
It is not what language that you want on your phone that matters -- you
didn't write the software. What matters is any development team can pick
the language they prefer to use and make their software portable to your
phone or your PC.

Potentially, yes.
