You should check the paper "Why calculating is better than scheming", from Phil Wadler.

i have and i'm still not seeing why calculating is better than scheming. it also lays into lack of lazy evaluation, but haven't we determined over time in haskell that lazy by default has it's own tradeoffs?

Could you maybe break it all down for us ? thanks
