Are you saying that writing Haskell in Lisp is easier than writing Lisp in Haskell? Or did I get that backwards?

- hardwaresofton 10y agoYes -- to clarify, it I'm saying that it would be easier (for me at least) to write with haskell's semantics/paradigm than it would be for me to write with lisp's semantics/paradigm in haskell. I think the statement is almost axiomatic. Lisp is multi-paradigm, by way of simplicity/choices not being made for you. Haskell is decidedly functional (which is something I love about it). Making a more specific thing into a less specific thing (while possible in this case), seems like a more difficult task than molding the clay that is LISP to look like haskell.
