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? ;)
