You surely can not claim that C is simpler than Haskell? C is simpler than C++ indeed, because it is a subset of it, but real high-level languages avoid many of the problems present in such low-level languages, but on the other hand, have their own restrictions. Note that I'm not saying that Haskell is simpler than C either. Simplicity is not a total order, only partial. > If I have to devote myself to it; do you mean I will have a hard time=20 > switching back to C++ or Java programming? Once you learn Haskell, you'll keep missing a lot of its nice features. Tagged unions are, for example, something that is very difficult to emulate in in C(++) and I suppose Java too, and something I keep wanting almost constantly when writing C. -- Tuomo _______________________________________________ darcs-users mailing list [email protected] http://www.abridgegame.org/mailman/listinfo/darcs-users
