I am leery of code comparisons (but not Timothy Leary of them).<br>
<br>
Clojure being a JVM language has the advantage of the massive Java<br>
class libraries.<br>
<br>
If Haskell could tie in fairly seamlessly to the Java class libraries ...<br>
<br>
If more developers learned the need for finer grained abstraction ...<br>
