Really funny how the inspiration is python and haskell but there are 0 features from haskell.
- Pirate-of-SV 10y agoType declarations are similar to Haskell's. Haskell is also whitespace dependent.
- dkarapetyan 10y agoThat's not what makes Haskell what it is. It's not the type declaration syntax or the white space awareness. In fact those things are so superficial that they might as well not be mentioned.
- lgas 10y agoWhile this is true, the post lists 9 specific examples of features directly below that quote, of which 5 are found in haskell. He never said he tried to capture the essence of Haskell, simply that features in his language were inspired (in part) by Haskell.
