You are the second person to reference quicksort in Haskell in this thread. The other person even mentioned it not being true quicksort. Who knew quicksort in Haskell was such a beloved piece of code!

Back when HotOrNot was hot, there was a site like it for rating code snippets. The top-rated one, I think I remember, was a broken version of this sort function: it had left out the recursions or something (I don't remember exactly), which made it even more 'elegant'.

This wasn't the only case I noticed of highly-rated broken code there. It took me a long time to take this lesson to heart about especially slick-looking code of my own.
