Notes:

• There is a lot of illness going around campus. Please try to take care of yourselves.
• Because so many of you seem so ill, and could probably use the extra rest, there will be no class on Friday. I still expect questions on the last Haskell section.
• Mid-semester exam to be distributed tomorrow. Due Saturday after break.
• A few of you reported on Piazzza being insanely slow at times. I talked to the Piazzza people at the conference, and they asked that you send them email when you encounter slowness.

Overview:

• Haskell v. Clojure.
• The Second Haskell Lab.

Haskell v. Clojure

A student question: Why learn Haskell and Clojure?

• Why learn Haskell if you've already learned Clojure?
• Why learn Clojure if you're going to learn Haskell?

And yes, AT did start to answer this question.

Lab

• Do The second Haskell lab.
