It seems like there are plenty of examples of clever things being done in a lazily-evaluated language that can't be done in an environment with strict evaluation. For example infinite lists in Haskell or replacing every element in a tree with the tree's minimum value in one pass.

Are there any examples of clever things being done in a strictly-evaluated language that can't easily be done in a lazily-evaluated language?
