A Conversation for Haskell - a Functional Programming Language
Sounds like 'Miranda'

The above all sounds very much like Miranda, the functional language which used to be used at Essex University (and may well still be!) 
Functional languages are great for learning programming fundementals and structured solutions to problems, but I'd be very surprised to find anyone actually using them out in the 'real' world. (I'd probably have to make an exception for Prolog here...).

Heh. We were taught Standard ML at Manchester, although they've given up on that now, and we brushed on Haskell this year.
Standard ML is even more backward (compared with Haskell) than Miranda is, but functional programming on the whole is much more fun than anything imperative or OO, so I'll let it off.
