Reading through http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_comprehension, it seems that there are roughly equal numbers of languages where "list comprehension" produces strict list as languages where it produces lazy lists.

I think it's a lack of naming convention - the word "list" on its own means "strict list" in some languages and "lazy list" in others.

Fair enough, I retract my statement :) Maybe people are not surprised after all.
