# I assume
Haskell is a general purpose, purely functional programming language. Haskell compilers are freely available for almost any computer.

# what is a "functional" programming language?
A disfunctional one would be a bit of a waste of time, wouldn't it?
(I helped save b3ta! chaotic_illuminator proud spacehopperist, Wed 22 Jan 2003, 20:53, archived)
# A funtional programming language
is a language in which all expressions are defined in terms of functions - there are no mutable variables, so you can't store values.

Example haskell prog:

take1 _ [] = []
take1 0 _ = []
take1 n (x:xs) = x : take1 (n-1) xs

See how it looks like maths?
Thats why we CSists call it "Lame."
(Jim, Wed 22 Jan 2003, 21:06, archived)
# how bizarre.
I don't really understand the example code at all, and I can't really see how you can do much without mutable variables. But I'm not a CS person.
Thanks for the explanation.

I am now considering developing a dysfunctional programming language though. Instead of a "Hello World" test program, you'd use a "I always hated you, mother, you fucking bitch. Fuck Off you cunt!" program...

# Beleive
me, you don't want to understand...
I spent a year struggling with haskell before I dropped out, and since then I've been stricken by a compulsion to eat acid and shout "Hoooooooooooooooooouuuuup. (pause) La!" At kittens.
