I was about to comment this. You don't mess around with this highly functional a judge ;-)
He wanted to bring purity to the US justice system.
I wish his behavior led to some side effects on the justice system.
The courts are actually pretty first-class. Take a look at the transcript posted elsewhere in this thread for a reference to the transparency of the system, and how this judge is defending it. Supreme Court cases also make for pretty fun reading sometimes, and there's no denying that judges tend to be extremely smart and conscientious.
He's definitely the kind of judge who is able to avoid all kinds of procedural problems which are typically an issue in this type of justice system.
Strictly typed, lazy evaluator?
Unrelated but I heard that after a fair bit of therapy he was able to get rid of his childhood lisp too?
That... is actually quite a cool name.
I'm not sure if you mean the judge's entire name or the name 'Haskell', but just in case you didn't know: Haskell (the language), as well as the functional concept of currying were both named after a mathematician called Haskell Curry :)
