do you have a source on this? For me laziness is the single strongest thing going for Haskell.

- rapala 13y agoIt's from a retrospective on Haskell: www.cs.nott.ac.uk/~gmh/appsem-slides/peytonjones.ppt There seems to be two arguments against laziness. Firstly, it makes reasoning about performance hard. Secondly, forcing strict evaluation is tricky, maybe harder than it would be to do optional lazy evaluation in a strict language.
