Quotes of the Week
* lambdabot was last seen on #haskell 1 hour, 37 minutes and 46
seconds ago, saying: <IO ()>
* elliott: oh, it's not haskell-cafe? that explains the reasonable
responses ["it" = GHC mailing list]
* Morandat: "The astute reader will have noticed that the above
example clashes with our claim that R is lexically
scoped. As is often the case, R is lexically scoped
up to the point it is not."
* quicksilver: lisp doesn't have equational reasoning so there is
nothing to lose :)
* JoeyA: One thing I like about Haskell versus C++ is that abusing
language features tends to give more satisfying results.
monochrom: that seems to be a criterion for drugs rather than
languages :)
