> Haskell people smart, other people dumb?

Da hell you're talking about, friend? I said nothing about "people", or them being smart or dumb; just a difference in cultural stereotypes.

Now you're ironically "proving the point" I didn't make by saying some dumb shit and pulling me into this pit too. If I was actually smarter I'd probably just ignored it. Reminds me Billy Madison quote: "everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul."

Again, check HAKMEM from ITS/Maclisp/PDP10's (The OS from Richard Stallman took all the ideas for GNU Emacs, the GPL license, the free software movemement and whatnot). Lisp itself accounts for tons of papers and innovation.
