"I was a C++ programmer before I started designing Ruby. I programmed in C++ exclusively for two or three years. And after two years of C++ programming, it still surprises me."

ANSI C have around 20 keywords, Haskell on the other side have around 60, almost the same amount of C++. (not counting type related keywords)

>>10
Bullshit.

Haskell has 21 reserved keywords that cannot be used as names for values or types. This is a relatively low number (Erlang has 28, OCaml has 48, Java has 50, C++ has 63—and Miranda has only 10), and keeping it low was a priority of the Haskell Committee.

Many of those are only available in language extensions, and if you even counted special characters like that then C would also have way more than 20 keywords.
Compare that with C++'s monstrosity here

Have you tried actually reading that? They count things like "=" and ">=" as reserved words. By that token, C is going to have 60 reserved words too.

And this is not even counting things like weak_ptr and unique_ptr, which are pertinent to memory management and are used as reserved words in lots of libs.

If it ain't LISP, it's shit.

>>13,16
Sure you can remove ! ' " - -- - ; , =
But, you must include sugars like >>= and separate things like "if then else", then you will still have around 60 reserved keywords.

>>21

sugars like >>=

>>= is just a function.

It is an operator and it is fundamental to the language ability to do io, common.

sorry I was going to say do instead of >>= (which is not included in the list)

OK faggots I've rounded up the real reserved keywords of Haskell:

module where
import let
in where
do case
of class
instance infixr
infixl data
type newtype
foreign deriving
if then
else

That's it, just 21. All of those others like "qualified" or "hiding" are not even keywords. I've used them for identifiers and they're legal.
