I've been coding in it for about 6 weeks and I'm REALLY enjoying
it. Its the most fun I've had coding in ages.
Yes, those modern functional languages really bring back the joy to
hacking. :) The trouble with ML and Haskell is, though, while they
already have some facilities for graphics programming, at this time
they mostly lack other multimedia libraries. (And I'm wondering how
suitable Haskell would be for realtime stuff, given its lazy
evaluation strategy. ML certainly is, in fact it's been reported that
in some cases compiled ML is even faster than C ...)
There is the Haskore Haskell package. The problem I had with doing
haskell audio work that binary I/O was too slow.
