Re: Haskell, anyone?

I just installed ghc & C. and I am giving a try to the tutorials.  The syntax is a bit... intimidating, though :-).  I mean, I find more intutive something like

   function add(X, Y: Integer) return Integer;

rather than

    add :: Integer -> Integer -> Integer

(Yes, I understand that this means that add is a function that maps an integer into a function that maps integers to integers... [confused? :-)] and I guess that this is taken from the common mathematical notation of functions) I guess one gets used to it, nevertheless, it is not the most intuitive syntax in the world... :-)

I see, however, that you can do some very powerful/funny stuff like infinite lists and mapping functions to functions.

Oh, well, back to the tutorial...
