Is there anything you would like to add ?
Higher-order functions, purity, pattern-matching, no-nonsense
syntax, algebraic data types, ...
From your list, I agree to add "some pattern matching abilities"
to mine, but that it all.
Oh, it is anyway very generous of you. But tell me: do you
*understand*
the remaining issues, notably the purity?

PS. For Henning T.: Don't worry, the "slogan battle" won't start
again. The
discussion level is not appropriate. Although we can, of course,
add to
this damned page the ad: "people, use Haskell! It has a compiler!"
Not a bad advantage --- Haskell is much faster than any mainstream
language with a tenth its feature set.
Of course, so is any other language with a tenth its feature set, but
I don't see how anyone using Scheme or ML is anymore a bad thing for
Haskell...
