[Haskell-cafe] Haskell in 3 Slides

[Joe Fredette]

While an incredibly small font is a clever option, a more serious 
suggestion may be as follows.

3-4 slides imply 3-4 topics, so the question is what are the 3-4 biggest 
topics in haskell? I would think they would be:

* Purity/Referential Transparency
* Lazy Evaluation
* Strong Typing + Type Classes
* Monads

Assuming you have, say, 10-15 minutes for the talk, and the people there 
are versed with imperative programming and maybe have some experience in 
functional programming, you can probably jump over each of those slides 
in about a minute, just enough to touch the subject.

I also assume that you don't need to fit the whole presentation in 3-4 
slides, if you do, then .... yah.
