It is in this newsgroup. We even have two whole subnewsgroups devoted to
it even though this is a server about a totally different language.

Hadn't heard of Clean till today.
Lisp used to be the king, but I'm sure if you look at the rate over the
last 2 years, Haskell exceeds it.

Yeah, Erlang is more widely known.
Clean is sort-of like Haskell, but much more messy. (Which makes the
name kind of interesting...) It's more low-level, reputedly giving you
better performance.

The Bellman-Ford algorithm gets talked about in that forum. Ever heard
of it? I haven't.
Oh, and something called "Firefly"...

Heh. One person talking to himself doesn't count as "discussion",

I know. :-) (Even though I never watched it.)
I love the raptors. I might even watch this jurassic movie someday
just to see them in motion pictures. Such is the effect of word of
mouth.
