Sorry, I could not resist to open the 2008 Alice-users list :-) Andreas Rossberg wrote:

I have read "Alice Through the Looking Glass" and I found it very interesting, now I'm going to review it with the "Extended Mix", it seems to provide a few more examples. Your are right that it is not a tutorial but it seems like a good starting point to learn about Alice, of course, a few more simple examples about the same questions would help a lot. I have a question: I understand, after reading the AliceFaq, why you didn't choose Oz as a basis for Alice but, is there any reason for Alice to be based on SML rather than on other functional languages like Haskell for example? The possibility of easy concurrent, distributed and constraint programming is what attracted me to learn SML (Alice Ml) instead of Haskell, even so I'm learning a bit of Haskell.
