>>23In fairness C does have weak-ass typing. Not that you should want that. When I was learning C I was frustrated by how weak the types were, and I didn't even have the vocabulary to say as much.
>>24The question was about where to go from Haskell, so your answer was off base. It's understandable, the question was terse.
But your answer was full of shit. Yes, C and ES are essential in a working programmer, jack-of-all-trades, practical use scenario. Lisp isn't though, and it won't teach you all the paradigms. Having them all right there means you can avoid learning any of them deeply, which would be great in practical terms if CL was half as popular as Perl.
Besides that, you speak nonsense about many of the languages you mention, as though you've heard of them and paid just enough attention to them to file them into neat little boxes, like people who say "use Go for concurrency" followed by a long list of programming languages they haven't used, designated to tasks they have no experience in.
