> Haskell won, even beating the reference 'C' implementation

This has always interested me. I have never gotten an answer, and I suppose I can't seriously expect one now, but I am still compelled to ask:

Why did you put C in quotes up there? Why isn't Haskell in quotes? You didn't put C in quotes in other parts, but that isn't what I'm talking about.

No specific reason really. I didn't think about it at the time, that's just how I typed it.

Probably because C is a single letter, and thus potentially needs some differentiation from the surrounding sentence, whereas Haskell is an actual word. But no idea really.

Thanks for your answer.

because 'C' is a char, while Haskell is a string

But then there should be double quotes.
