The next time I hear some idiot say ``an array is just a pointer'' I'm going to write an OS in Haskell and remotely install it on their computer.

The C language didn't even realize what a BOOLEAN was until they officially introduced it in c99 (or was it c98)...
As for writing an OS in Haskell - a clue to you: operating systems have something called side effects, all sorts of them, at all times - Haskell tries to wish away side effects and pretend they can be magically isolated (out of site, out of mind) when obviously this is not the case. Imagine a file system that has no side effects (sorry user, you can't save your file to your hard disk - we don't allow side effects - oh wait, we just implemented a file system using MONADS with our GONADS ten years later after we realized the OS now needs side effects!)
