Yes, well Miranda is a toy teaching language. In fact being a pure[1]
toy teaching language without modules or any means to extend it, with
a single non-free implementation, it's barely even practical as a
computer language at all.
I had to use Modula-2 at university, and that didn't put me off
imperative programming. Although if Niklaus Wirth had turned up while
I was trying to write that 68000 emulator in Modula-2, I wouldn't have
been responsible for my actions ...
