Well, it has some amusing polls. For instance, Favorite Programming
Language goes to Haskell, Static Typing seems to be "the only way to
fly"... but Best Syntax is "S-Expressions"?! If there are so many
Lisp fans there, why are the other categories not reflecting it? :P

I have just read the above, but I am not surprised. I find myself
fitting these comments (am I going mainstream?). Haskell is good (I
find it less constraining than OCaml and ML things). Static typing is
good (when it does not get in the way of programming). S-expressions
are good, but they cannot beat a full blown XML-based programming
language. :)

1. Favorite FPL:
Cl programmers don't call cl functional, but multi-paradigm
language. I've skipped voting.
2. Monads are
Good thing under certain very limited circumstances. There is no such
option so I've skipped voting.
3. Static typing is
Sometimes good, sometimes bad, depends of the problem you're solving,
Since there is no middle answer I've skipped voting
4. Best syntax is
S-expressions definitely. The only one I voted for.
cheers

Now I understand why it's a bad idea to not vote in presidential
elections. ;)

How would you vote if you were cl programmer?

It also depends on the type system. There are constraining type systems
like Java and enabling type systems like the one in Haskell. I wasn't
sure what to vote there either.

Maybe Liskell is getting popular???
