> We didn't throw away C++ back when the STL was no good. You're not doing Haskell any favors by comparing with "the times when STL was no good" (when was this? 20 years ago? 30?). > Why should the situation with Haskell be different? Because the world has moved on and expects languages, their libraries and runtimes to become better.
