[Haskell-cafe] Re: Haskell and scripting

[Pierre-Etienne Meunier]

Fifty years ago someone came up with this idea of lisp and parentheses. By now in year 2010, I have never heard of any programmer who never made jokes about it. Now imagine the discussions in 2060 :

- ahah, you're still programming with monads. lol
- no but theyre ok for dirty scripting.
- all these >>=, significative indentation, You're from the past dude.
- Wtf !!? haskell's easy to compile.
- So what ?

... good luck limestraël ;-)
