Walter Bright:

> Would you rather write that or:

How much experience do you have in writing Haskell programs 
longer than 50 lines of code? I have a large respect for your 
experience and your intelligence, but be careful with comments 
like that, to not show just your ignorance...

If you are a Haskell programmer you usually don't write code like 
that, so in practice it's not a problem. And even if sometimes 
you have to write awkward code, the Haskell programmers can 
assure you that on average the advantages given by Haskell purity 
far outweighs the disadvantages.

On overall I prefer D over Haskell, but if you want to criticize 
Haskell you need much much better arguments and way bigger 
cannons :-)
