I never said that. Your argument was that this is specific to Haskell which is not.

How is this different from other languages?

Using "_" does not replace an actual argument ;)

I fact, I wrote the opposite in the parent of your post.

It is specific to lazily evaluated languages, especially Haskell. To test Haskell program you will need a real environment under heavy load - maybe Google or Amazon could afford it. Tiny unit tests which are perfect for strictly evaluated languages won't detect these kid of bugs.
