I still think it's truly awesome that I can just hapilly write my code in Haskell on a very high level, while in the meantime other people will hack on the compiler and core libraries and magically make my programs run faster! Seriously, thank you for doing research in this area. It will put us forward.

Haskell is all about the lazy.

You can apparently blame C for the belief that a programmer should have to optimize code themselves. Though I'm waiting for the itanium/ILP optimized haskell compiler. It's one of the few languages that tracks side effects enough that it seems possible to actually build the "sufficiently smart compiler" that Intel always claimed would materialize to make itanium a good idea.

  What would you blame them for? Beating the crap out of the alternatives?
