Then what were you impling by saying:

> Do you know how this would look in Haskell?

Because that sentence seems to imply it would be very convoluted in Haskell. How can you imply it would look convoluted in Haskell if as you said:

> I don't know Haskell, so there wasn't anything in my head.

Anyway, onwards...

You aren't convinced of what after seeing the Haskell code?

How can you come to the conclusion that Python is both semantically and syntactically a better fit for that problem if you don't know both Python and Haskell?

Can you give me the criteria you are using to come to that conclusion?
