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 :-)
