LISP is right brained; Haskell left brained

LISP requires too much creativity. You have to develop your own constructs to do anything. Whereas most languages like Python and C++ have idiomatic ways of doing things, with LISP the whole idea is to create your own DSL for every little task. LISP is "more than one way to skin the cat" taken to the extreme.

Haskell is more like rigid and Vulcan-like. Programs are proofs. You don't need to implement your own DSL and/or "universe" to solve a problem. Macros are superfluous. Haskell is the opposite extreme of LISP in that the left brain¹ dominates.

¹ The left/right brain dichotomy might be outdated, but I'm just referring to the general idea of creativity versus raw analytic problem solving.

I was thinking that, but 5 minutes of Jewgling didn't show it, so I tried to cover my bases. If I recall correctly, the decision tree in the original included the case of the vacuum vomiting garbage back on the floor because it was broken.

Let it be known, that I am. There is nothing in there that isn't either better taught in basic data structures and algorithm books, or more real-worldishly done in real machine learning material. This book is an anachronism and is better suited to teaching history of the field pre-AI winter.
