Clojure has great support for parallellism, and Clojure's community is very friendly. Haskell has nothing on Clojure in these specific regards.

  In support for paralleliism or a friendly community? I'd have thought it has both in truck loads. Well tested, fast parallelism, that's stood up to 15 years of testing...

  Why do you think this? Haskell not only has a friendly IRC channel, it also has friendly tools for interacting with the community. For example, it is very nice to hear someone talking about Yi, type "cabal install yi", and then having it installed and running in just a few moments. (It is also very nice to pull the xmonad darcs and say "cabal install" to install the newest version of xmonad. I don't even bother with Debian packages for anything related to Haskell anymore.) Anyway, my point is, I think you should try Haskell before you talk about it.

    But I've tried Haskell, and I do like it! "X has nothing on Y" means X is not superior to Y. Not "X couldn't tie Y's shoelaces."

      The meaning is much closer to the latter in my experience.

  As a longtime GHC user and sometime #haskell visitor, I find your troll HILARIOUS. One thing though, you forgot "Clojure has a better library of persistent data structures." That would have sent dons into an epic flameout.

    I'm not sure if mdemare's post was a troll, or just poorly worded. Clojure has a friendly community and very good support for parallelism. Haskell does also.

      I think my post was neither, and I'm confused at the reactions. You summarized it perfectly.
