[Haskell-cafe] Functions that return functions

[michael rice]

No sweat. My comment was meant humorously. I just forgot the emoticon.

Any way you look at it, Haskell is very impressive, and I've just scratched the surface.

I'm sorry. I didn't expect you to understand the whole thing. Rather, I'm just showing what is possible. Notice that there is no lambda abstraction in the function implementation. The entire thing is constructed with combinators, functions that take other functions as arguments. I was trying to emphasize that it is very Haskelly to accept and return functions as happily as normal values.
