Re^3: Haskell vs Perl 6 (was Re: Capturing parenthesis and grouping square brackets)

I'd add a note saying something like "While the code looks like the two trees are flattened to lists first and then compared, Haskell is lazy, which means that behind the scenes it will only do as much work as it has to and stop flattening once it finds the first mismatch. Simply don't worry about it. It works."

This is misleading, as it suggests that P6's gather/take is not lazy. Would you be willing to update your comment to fix this mistake?

Update: I was wrong. Apologies to Jenda.

BEG YOUR PARDON?!?

How does a note suggested to be added to the explanation of the Haskell code "suggest P6's gather/take is not lazy"? There was no mention of Perl6 in that comment, neither direct, nor intended, nor implied!

My mistake. I apologize.
