There is a fellow by the name of Jon Harrop who has in times pasted "showed up" when Haskell came up for discussion. To say that he does not like Haskell is putting it mildly. I have the impression that the mere existence of Haskell is a personal affront to him. What struck me about your post was how much it sounded like something he would write, in particular the interpretation of facts (a strictness pragma was recently introduced to Haskell) in the most extremely negative way possible (said pragma is admission that Haskell's default evaluation strategy is simply "wrong"). If you are not he, you should look him up, as I expect you two (?) would get along fantastically.
