    They figure if they make it good enough, more than one person will code in it at a time.

    A fitting name for this Haskell programming language might have been "Python" hadn't it all ready been taken.

    Actually, naming it "Python" would be doubly-fitting.. in fact, I think we should rename *all* programming languages "Python", just so it doesn't get confusing :)

    Welcome to the programming language department. Bruce here teaches Python, the object oriented dynamically typed language. Bruce teaches Python the lazy functional language, while Bruce teaches postfix Python. And then there's Bruce who teaches s-expression Python and is in charge of the snake dip.
