Haskell is cooler, because it's Lisp with expressive syntax, compilation, pure functionality (as in functions, not as in working), and a very good static type system.
I wrote a lexer from scratch in Haskell in 15 lines, and it was only that long because I pressed enter a bunch to make it more readable. And it would have been extremely easy to expand or modify it.
And how about we start using the
Snark? This is how you use it.~
