Yes, but 'extremely large' numbers mean different things, depending on whether we talk about for example midges in Scotland (bazillion >= 10^20), people in a football stadium (bazillion >= 5*10^4) or people at your sister's wedding (bazillion >= 50). So how much is a bazillion when it comes to Haskell programmers? > > Since the population of the planet is roughly 6 Billion, I would guess > that Andrew is under the miscomprehension that aliens make up the vast > majority of Haskell users Ordinary people don't use Haskell, so if you're using Haskell, you're ipso facto an alien ;-) > (or else he is taking into account everyone > who will ever use Haskell as well, since after all Haskell will > eventually replace all other inferior languages to become the One True > Language!).
