- throwaway17_17 4y agoBob Harper, from CMU, has a really fun section of his 2021 OPLSS lectures where he talks about Haskell being the best version of Modernized Algol, so your hot take has, at least, some measure of reasoned support for precedent. However, the syntax for imperative programming in Haskell is not quite as simple as it could be and so makes it a tough fit for a ‘better’ imperative language.
