Flame war? Absolutely not. My reason is to learn. There are many sites dedicated to reasonably objective comparisons between languages. Here are two examples:
http://www.smallscript.org/Language%20Comparison%20Chart.asp http://www.jvoegele.com/software/langcomp.html The wildcard exclusion problem is interesting enough to have many distinct, elegant solutions in as many languages. It would be interesting to see if they converge to roughly the same solution or if there are essential differences. And your code is a crash course in Haskell! Tossing aside the 'flame war' inquiry your code response is my only goal. I hope many others find the problem and responses as fascinating as I do. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
