metaperl posted about this on the Haskell Sequence this morning and I
thought all of you list readers might be interested as well.

Autrijus Tang is well-known for developing the first working Perl 6
interpreter, Pugs. Pugs is written in Haskell. Perl.com has an
interview with Autrijus, and page 2 of that interview gets
particularly interesting.

Favorite quote:

  "Haskell . . . is faster than C++, more concise than Perl, more
  regular than Python, more flexible than Ruby, more typeful than C#,
  more robust than Java, and has absolutely nothing in common with
  PHP."

-- John
