Paul! 3 words, "GET OUT MORE!"
I'll never know how Jenny managed to get most of us to scrape through
that exam!
I can't see FP really ever being used in industry. There's know way it
would get safety rated.
All the stuff we do which goes out has a safety level and to get a SIL
level you have to do code coverage analysis as part of the test results.
I don't know how you could do code coverage with FP as the code is only
ever run when it's needed.
Cheers.
Nick.

Subject: [dmusofties] Anyone remember FP and Haskell?
Does anyone remember taking Dave Smallwoods Haskell
module? No, I didnt think anyone would forget, Im sure
that most people from se00 still have the mental scars
;-)
This might come as a bit of a surprise (and no, I
havent been taking mind altering drugs), but I
actually started doing a bit of Haskell last night. I
found an article on OSNews.com, and after reading
though that I downloaded Hugs and started to work
though the following tutorial:
http://www.isi.edu/~hdaume/htut/tutorial.pdf
Yes, I know that during the 2nd year I hated FP as
much as the next person (with the odd exception) but
after looking at it again last night I've started to
change my mind and I reckon that FP has some very good
ideas (no side effects, and once only assignment etc).
I've also noticed that FP has been mentioned on quite
a few blogs (the register, osnews to name a few).
Maybe we will see FP being used more and more in
industry, if so it might be worth taking a 2nd look
at it.
Paul
