Has anybody got any _hands-on_ experience with a functional language called MIRANDA ? It is described in the book: Simon L. Peyton Jones, The Implementation of Functional Programming Languages, and in a few articles. There is also a British company selling compilers for this language (running on most UNIX systems, from large ones down to AT&T 3B2). On paper, the language looks great. However, I'd like to hear from somebody who has or is currently _using_ the language. Also, I'm interested in other func. lang. particularly suitable for scientific computing, i.e., languages whose syntax is as close as possible to mathematical notation (special applications: solutions of differential equations). PLEASE e-mail, I'm not able to catch up with all the interesting groups. Thanks in advance.
