[Haskell-cafe] Re: Why?

[John D. Earle]

To elaborate there is another language that is also a functional language. I won't mention the name so as not to offend anyone. It too is effect free, that is what makes it functional and it is a functional language in the true sense of the term, but it is not effect free in the sense that Haskell is effect free. This other language is effect free in every practical sense whereas Haskell is effect free in a strict sense.
