About as far as possible from Python? Not quite. The languages have a lot in common and Python has already borrowed a few tricks from Haskell. - *Ultimate Language Shootout IV: QUASI* (0:05:00 Minutes) By: Randy Baxley 1977 - A language, the description of which was handed to me on about one hundred and fifty mimeographed eight and one half by eleven sheets.
