Functional programming in Haskell

[Dilawar Singh]

Dear all,

Haskell is one of the most beautiful and one of the "useless" computer language. Although loved my mathematicians and computer scientists, it is often considered too academic and too researchy, which it is!

Its pedagogical values are never questioned by anyone. This weekend I'll take  a introductory session on Haskell (timings to be announced). After the session, we can discuss if we want to take is forward.

Haskell is not "useless" (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haskell_%28programming_language%29#Applications)
Brainfuck, Shakespeare, Whitespace and others on the other hand, are "useless"
