Bartosz Milewski is a C++ programmer and a Haskell fan. He once gave a 
presentation at NWCPP where he wrote a few lines of Haskell code. Then, he 
showed the same code written using C++ template metaprogramming.

The Haskell bits in the C++ code were highlighted in red. It was like a sea of 
grass with a shrubbery here and there. Interestingly, by comparing the red dots 
in the C++ code with the Haskell code, you could understand what the C++ was 
doing. Without the red highlighting, it was a hopeless wall of < > :-)

Since I mention Bartosz, I should link to his blog:
