Let's put this issue in perspective. For those few Haskell
programmers that do find layout irritating, I'm sure we would all
agree it's but a minor irritation. The real downside of layout is if
non-Haskell programmers use it as an excuse to dismiss the language.
I happen to think that Data Parallel Haskell has great potential for
use in high performance computations. I'd hate to see a bunch of
Fortraners not try DPH because of Haskell syntax.
Well that's a reasonable point.
They can still use the non-layout form if it bothers them that much?
