> The real value in Haskell, to me, seems to be for learning functional programming, since it forces you to use that paradigm. Beyond that, it's just a hobby language. It's not a bad thing, but I think like you said in the beginning of your post, you aren't qualified to speak on this. Haskell is a very powerful and capable language, and you've basically called it a toy. It's good you've played around with the language, but to say you've built nothing substantial in Haskell and go on to say it's just a hobby language is like me saying I played around with Python and decided its only value is learning the imperative paradigm.
