==no source listed for the claim that Turner considers Miranda "dead,"==
There's no source listed for the claim that Turner considers Miranda "dead," and that sentence was submitted anonymously (although apparently by someone who knows a lot about Turner). Can anyone cite a reference on this?
Line 6 ⟶ 9:
* Well, Miranda looks kind of dead to me. I was curious about it, and I tried to find the company which is supposed to be selling it, Reasearch Software, Ltd. And I can't. If a software company doesn't have a website in this day and age... --[[User:Ansible|Ansible]] 04:35, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
The company which owns Miranda (Research Software Limited) is still alive and filing tax returns in the UK. See https://beta.companieshouse.gov.uk/company/01714265/filing-history
I note from the filings that Professor David Alan Turner is still listed as a Director and Shareholder of the company. <!-- Template:Unsigned IP --><small class="autosigned">— Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/2A02:8109:440:8790:7C74:D6B0:D104:E901|2A02:8109:440:8790:7C74:D6B0:D104:E901]] ([[User talk:2A02:8109:440:8790:7C74:D6B0:D104:E901#top|talk]]) 16:30, 31 May 2017 (UTC)</small> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

Is there any reason why he drops out of the comment, only to immediately start a new one?--[[User:80.135.92.95|80.135.92.95]] 21:36, 3 September 2007 (UTC)
: That piece of code is using Miranda's literate script mode: every line _not starting_ with ">" is a comment. The confusing part is that the author starts the above comment with ">" (which would indicate it's actually code!), but then proceeds to write an "||", which indicates it's a comment after all. There, I answered your question after only 4 years! [[Special:Contributions/201.231.81.53|201.231.81.53]] ([[User talk:201.231.81.53|talk]]) 00:44, 31 July 2011 (UTC)
== Change to Introduction ==
The lead begins "Miranda is a non-strict..." where "non-strict" forwards to the lazy evaluation page. This doesn't seem correct as there are many non-strict languages that aren't lazy. I haven't touched anything though as I'm not sure what the edit should be. --[[Special:Contributions/91.231.145.253|91.231.145.253]] ([[User talk:91.231.145.253|talk]]) 09:17, 15 January 2015 (UTC)
== Comparison to Haskell ==
This article looks like an introduction to Haskell - the syntax is strikingly similar. Are there aspects and features of Miranda that are different and have not found their way into Haskell? --[[User:Cebus|Cebus]] ([[User talk:Cebus|talk]]) 07:21, 29 May 2017 (UTC)

Re "difference between the of the child nodes is not higher than 1 " should that be "difference between the child nodes is not higher than 1"?
