Hi all,
Haskell, is arguably the best example of a design-by-committee language.
The syntax is clean and most importantly, consistent. The essence of a
purely functional programming is maintained, without disturbing its real
world capacity.
To all the people who revise the Haskell standard,

You do realize that design-by-committee is generally understood to
refer to the antipattern where a committee discusses a design to death
and delivers an

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
Hm...
Haskell was /developed/ by teams, but we had BEFORE: hope, miranda, ML
... The heritage is quite important.
And individuals (say, Mark Jones) contributed to Haskell constructs. So,
the /design/ is not entirely committe based

It really sounds rude, to demand promises from somebody who just gave you a big

Without wishing to preempt Zed Becker, I interpreted his email as an
expression of delight at how well Haskell has been designed and of hope that

I have ever wondered how a committee could have made Haskell.
My conclusion is the following:
For one side there were many mathematicians involved, the authors of the
most terse language(s) existent: the math notation.
For the other, the lemma avoid success at all costs which kept the

Is this a mistake? 30 August is Friday, 1 September is Sunday.
Oops! You're right, that's embarrassing :-)
Thanks,

Yes I'm really hoping Zurihac is on the weekend so I can actually come :) :)

A committee made Algol 60, described as an improvement on most

On the other hand, an individual gave us Perl.
