Functional programming beyond Haskell

Name: Anonymous 2015-02-20 8:36

We have all learned functional programming in Haskell, but there are more functional languages like Lisp, Scheme, ML, and Clean.

Why should we even bother to look further than Haskell?

- You want your programs to run faster.
- Monads drive you mad (what are they anyway? warm fuzzy things?).
- You need objects.
- You sometimes need a more powerful module system.

>>58
On a 64-bit system, it can.

and on 32-bit systems the limit is 4,194,303

You know a language is good when you can't have an array with 5 million elements in it.
