Be able to modify or add to the code base within a few weeks, in such a way that somebody doesn't have to come back later and repair your work. (-: So, no, not just the syntax: much harder, in my opinion, is to learn how to phrase even just simple algorithms in an efficient and functional way. When I first learned Standard ML, after years of imperative programming, my brain almost hurt for the first few weeks. -- Mark _______________________________________________ Haskell-Cafe mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
