Clearly, Haskell must have been used for something that Common Lisp can do better? Rather than let Haskell set the baseline, let Common Lisp set the baseline and try to show what long and verbose code Haskell needs to do the same thing. E.g., it, too, should do poorly for parsing XML. :) > But is that the best I could do? The Haskell version still seems > slightly shorter and clearer. Every language has been optimized for ...
