A Good Story

[hudak]

For every bad story there is a good one.  Recently Haskell was used
in an experiment here at Yale in the Medical School.  It was used to
replace a C program that controlled a heart-lung machine.  In the six
months that it was in operation, the hospital estimates that probably
a dozen lives were saved because the program was far more robust than
the C program, which often crashed and killed the patients.
