Re: how is Haskell not robust?



Although you have to learn semantics first in Haskell to predict its
memory behaviour, the code produces correct results in most cases, even
if you're leaking space. Bugs are very rare.

thanks to all for the thoughts about this subject.

i think i get it that laziness can lead to big space usage. and i
guess there is some debate about how easy it is for programmers to see
"oh this code right here could lead to a space leak!"

so, how could/do people see that something could be a space leak? is
there anything about it that could be automated?

thanks.
