Zed,

while I don't disagree regarding the clean and consistent syntax of
Haskell, do you realize that some people would argue that camels are horses
designed by committee too? :)

While designing by committee guarantees agreement across a large number of
people, it does not always ensure efficiency, as committees may lead to
poor compromises, sometimes.

However, Haskell may be an example of a good case of design-by-committee
computer language.
