Comment (by vanto):

 Wearing the hair shirt\\
 A retrospective on Haskell\\
 Simon Peyton Jones\\
 Microsoft Research, Cambridge\\
 POPL’03 meeting\\

 In the paragraph named {{{Syntax}}} he said:\\

 {{{
 Syntactic redundancy
 ...
 Haskell's choice: provide multiple ways, and let the programmer decide
 ...
 }}}
 And look what he's saying about the difference between {{{declaration
 style}}} vs
 {{{expression style}}}
