[Haskell-cafe] Lazy evaluation from "Why Functional programming matters"

The disappointment was not on a serious note ... the thing is, I
constantly run into discussions
about "why fp" with my colleagues - in a few of such discussions, I
had mentioned that Haskell is the
only well known language with lazy evaluation (IIRC, I read it
somewhere or heard it in one of the videos)

And I had built up this impression that laziness distinguished Haskell
by a huge margin ... but it seems that is not the case.
Hence the disappointment.
