[Haskell-cafe] Made me smile

[Andrew Coppin]

OK, so I was hanging out on this newsgroup I often lurk. And we're 
having a discussion. And I'm all like "Haskell is the greatest!" And 
they're all like "nah, Haskell sux". And this one dude goes "hey, look 
at this C++ code. How do you do that in Haskell?" And three other people 
look at this C++ and can't figure out what the heck it even does. So 
eventually he tells us what it does, and so I post some Haskell in a 
reply. And the some other guy writes this...

(OK, not much point to this email. But it seriously made me LOL IRL!)
