Haskell is far superior to #Scala in many ways. Don't let a few bullies or self-proclaimed experts tell you otherwise.

@dibblego e.g. Implicits in place of global dictionaries, a decent module system, maybe a few others.
@osymandias "implicits in place of global dictionaries" is inferior. Scala's module system is awful. Try organising a non-trivial project.

@dibblego Ha, I did wonder if you would say that! Would you mind explaining why? In both cases, is not one strictly more powerful? -
@osymandias type-classes are strictly more practical than implicit. Scala modules are fine but organising anything non trivial is harder.

@dibblego I.e. I can easily build Haskell's module system in Scala and slightly less easily replicate global dictionaries. -
@osymandias this point I could easily concede. Scala modules are still horrible.
