Haskell running on 4 GHz of processor(s) gives you vastly more power than any 10 programmers had several years ago.
It is not clear to me that Haskell is useful for producing programs that are actually useful to end users. Sure you can produce a prototype in nothing flat, but it seems to me that as with complex SQL expressions, it is very easy to produce Haskell expressions that evaluate several billion times slower than they should when the program starts handling a large number of users with a large number of transactions. And to get back to the topic of this thread. I cannot see anything but random deranged crap in alt.cypherpunks -- maybe I need to adjust my filters, but there does not seem to be any signal in the noise. Of course I can only see the signal on this list, because over the years I have developed some heavy filtering. --digsig James A.
