Yes, indeed! I'll show it to my boss to see if he can forgive me being always
late for work. I don't even know why I go to work, being the mere quantum
fluctuation on a holograph I am.

Well, Haskell is stateless, so time and sequencing of flow don't really
matter. Except when doing any useful IO that is. :P

Did you read the article? For that matter, did you even read the URL? :-)

Sure, I read it days ago. Very interesting, though the concept is not something
truly new: Feynman's Sum over paths is, I think, another take on the subject of
how to look at reality.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sum-over-paths
Or, in Douglas Adams words, "the whole sort of general mish-mash":
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whole_Sort_of_General_Mish_Mash#Whole_Sort_of_General_Mish_Mash
But then Andrew came up with a Haskell plug and I fell for it. :)
