   I think this comment gets to the heart of the matter. People want something different. They want a Haskell. How many blog posts about Perlis languages have we seen in the past several months? Reading these comments I've come across the

   How odd. The author's name is David S. Warren. The Warren Abstract Machine is named after David H. D. Warren. I've actually checked out this Stony Brook page before and assumed this was the WAM guy.
