I don't actually know Lisp or Haskell very well, so any similarity proto
bears to them was the result of either subliminal stimuli or convergent
evolution. I want to know in what ways you guys think they're similar.
I'm very interested! Joel, why write it in ML first?
Overmind, thanks for sharing the Lisp link. Very simple really, and
reminds me a lot of the vision I have for Phoenix3 (e.g., passing
unevaluated C++ "s-expressions" to functions for evaluation or
transformation).
