<i>Haskell without purity and types</i><p>I&#x27;m getting quite tired of this &quot;Every functional language I can&#x27;t precisely describe is like Haskell&quot; sentiment. It&#x27;s the &quot;tastes like chicken&quot; of programming languages. Then again, the original article is remarkably devoid of content, so I suppose it&#x27;s only fitting.<p>Interestingly, avoidance of excessive magic is a large reason why I stick to vanilla Erlang.
