That reminds me... Somebody should write an *OS* in Haskell! :-D

If that happened, then maybe at last I'd be able to have a choice other 
than M$ Windows (with all it's well-documented faults), and Unix (with 
its legendary unfriendliness and unecessary complexity).

OTOH... how the heck do you write an operating system in a language that 
doesn't even support I/O? :-S
