Mmm, interesting. I heard of Erlang way, way before I knew Haskell
existed. The whole "Ericson uses Erlang for all its mission-critical
infrastructure, which is a massive vote of confidence for FP". Except
that, obviously, it isn't, since Erlang is about as functional as Lisp -
i.e., not very.
It seems Haskell is everybody's least-favourit language.

Maybe.
Maybe that just means that Haskell is way harder to understand than
Lisp? :-/
