    Haskell isn’t really that hard to learn. It’s just changing the paradigm, that takes a mind shift for the first two weeks, maybe a month.

    I don’t play games that much to make such comparisons, though.

        a little category theory never hurt anyone :)

          Gorillions of set theorists are dead, and you have the gall to tell me that it never hurt anyone?

            the set theorists were already in pain. category theory freed them from their suffering

      i agree. haskell is worth learning because its cool, and the skills/concepts are transferrable, not because the language is in demand
