[Haskell-beginners] bugs or lack thereof

[Dennis Raddle]

I love Haskell for the fact that my programs have relatively few bugs
other than typos or obvious mistakes in types that the compiler
catches. I just wrote about 100 lines of code to do a fairly complex
task, which is to make a map of changing loudness in a musical
document (including slopes, not just flat level changes) and after I
got the typos out and it compiled, it just worked.

I have been a professional programmer in imperative languages for 20
years, so I can think pretty accurately about what I am doing, but I'm
new to Haskell, and it's a marked difference in the ease of getting
something to work right.
