Broken logics. You do accept every contribution even if you know that patch does not comply with your quality standards? And a language (itself) is inefficient because _you_ don't want to learn it? And you can compare the efficiency without knowing how a _good_ implementation in the other language may look like? > If a good number of scripts that would be worth including in the base > system were written in haskell or scheme, I would be the first one to > support that inclusion.
