I see you are one of those people who can't stick to a topic for more than one message and constantly change the specific topic of conversation rather than engage in debate. Especially when my own message already carried the idea that Haskell and Python vary substantially in their mathematical content. Carry on then.

You brought Haskell into the debate (along with many other topics) and I didn't get the impression it was in a positive light, hence my reply.

There isn't really anything more to debate. Your position appears to be that such details are "uninteresting", even for an aspiring high-level language like Python, because there are harder problems to solve. I suspect many academics would disagree, which I infer from their language designs.
