I meant that low-level languages are pretty much the same in the end. Haskell & lisp are not really close to machine instruction (well it could, but that's not common). Programming is really a way of thinking, as algebra & number theory are also. Adding abstraction layers just doesn't make someone think like a computer. It removes power from the user. > It just sucks as a teaching language. It depends on the teacher. I don't know how it could be harder to teach than Python or Scheme/Lisp.
