.NET is now cross-platform.

They throw around terms like open-source, but that doesn't usually mean what you want it to when MS says it, so who knows. There's also a free version of VS for small teams which is apparently feature-complete or nearly so.

Educamate yourself on what laziness is.
In short, it is normal order of evalueation PLUS MANDATORY FUCKING SUBEXPRESSION SHARING. The pointer mess it creates is astounding. I have tried twice to implement it, with no success.
Try starting at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lazy_evaluation
See the example
fibs = 0 : 1 : zipWith (+) fibs (tail fibs)
With proper laziness, fibs is shared. With naïve ``laziness'' aka non-strict evaluation, it is usually not. Which converts these fibs from a checkable linear time and constant space to have-time-to-make-tea time and blow-your-fucking-stack-up space.
There is no fucking way to implement it with 2 macros. There may be some chance to implement it with 20 very clever macros though, but I'm too drunk to assess this possibility in greater detail.
