I stopped reading right here (though will still read the rest).
Haskell is not better, just different. And no, OCaml is not a hybrid of java
and haskell: it's a pragmatic OO successor to ML, which is the oldest static
typed, polymorphic functional language still in use today. Curried functions?
Hindley-Milner type system? Yeah, all coming from ML. You could say OCaml is
ML++. :)
Haskell is Junior, ML is Senior, capisce? ;)
