I remember having heard/read the half-joking comment about Haskell being the best imperative language a few times, which of course sounds weird as Haskell is usually best known for its functional features. So my question is, what qualities/features (if any) of Haskell give reason to justify Haskell being deemed the best imperative language -- or is it actually more of a joke? luqui I consider it a half-truth.

I have been searching the web looking for a definition for declarative and imperative programming that would shed some light for me. However, the language used at some of the resources that I have found is daunting - for instance at Wikipedia . Does anyone have a real-world example that they could show me that might bring some perspective to this subject (perhaps in C#)? A great C# example of declarative vs. imperative programming is LINQ. With imperative programming, you tell the compiler what you want to happen, step by step. For example, let's start with this collection, and choose the odd
