Can you elaborate, why you think that the combination of all
three languages isn't good? I aggree that each language of its
own is not the best language for the given task they supposedly
have, but the combination is, IMHO, quite good, given that
each language is used where its strenght is.

And yes, i've read the rest of the thread, but couldn't find
any arguments why they are worse than others, only that they
are and that haskell would be better (but not why).
