Re: [Caml-list] Haskell vs OCaml

[Kristopher Micinski <krismicinski@gmail.com>]

One other potentially unmentioned point is basically that Haskell is
call by need and OCaml is call by value.  This causes a bit of a
headache sometimes (lazy io, etc, etc...), but birthed some cool
constructs (such as iteratees).

I personally find Haskell *harder* to understand because of all the
hoops you have to jump through to be purely functional (but maybe
that's just me).

Although I haven't personally used it, Camlp4 is nice (and used by
research) for implementing language extensions.  I'm not sure that GHC
is quite as hackable / extensible, but maybe that's just because I'm
uninformed about Haskell :-)..
