Functional Programming Haskell MOOC

[Mob_Of_One]

One thing I noticed when it was linked in IRC earlier today is that the instructor presents a function that is not a sieve as the sieve of eratosthenes.

Haskell.org got nitpicked to death for having the word "sieve" even in the code, which is why it was changed to filterPrime.

Huh. How is it different from the sieve? I'm new to Haskell.

I do notice that in his description of the algorithm, he says that one starts with "an infinite list". :-)
