Sounds more like Mr C++ fundamentally thinks in an imperative way because that's what he is used to. I recently started working with C# and struggled for way too long with for/foreach loops to do things that in Haskell could be expressed using only folding, mapping and filtering. When I realised that those ideas actually exist in System.Linq I suddenly started liking the language a bit more. txtCommaSeparatedNames.Text.Split(',').Select(x => x.Trim()).Where(x => x.Length > 0).Select(x => Convert.ToInt32(x)).ToList(); Ah, the joy of FP. -- Deniz Dogan _______________________________________________ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
