Haskell is pure FunctionalProgramming? language that employs LazyEvaluation and supports generic or PolymorphicTypes.
It has some cool concepts like the dot operator. If you remember your calculus, it used the . for functional composition: so does Haskell! This allows you to do something similar to the pipe operator used in shell scripting.
-- sieve: prints the number of prime numbers between 2 and 100000
sieve :: [Int? -> [Int? sieve [? = [? sieve (h:t) = h : sieve [x?
main = (putStrLn . show . length . sieve) [2..100000?
