[Haskell-cafe] Haskell Propeganda

[Thomas Davie]

Today I made an interesting discovery.

We all know the benefits of a strong type system, and often tout it as  
a major advantage of using Haskell.  The discovery I made, was that C  
programmer don't realise the implications of that, as this comment  
highlights:

Apparently, no one realises that a SEGFAULT is a type error, just not  
a very helpful one.
