OOOOH that's a baaad thing you said. :) 

Anyway, it seems to me that you prefer Haskell out of the various
functional languages, do you have a particular reason for this? I have
problems with Haskell, I've tried and I've tried but it's frankly quite
hard for me to follow programs written in Haskell once they get beyond a
couple pages when printed, for functional languages I prefer Lisp and
Erlang. Especially Erlang. 

So anyway what do you like especially about Haskell?
