You should definitely try, even if you end up being somewhat unsatisfied every time you have to use something else.
When I write code in Haskell, it feels right, just like when I discovered Lisp. Only better. And oh, the purity! Not only in the mathematical sense, even the code is completely deprived of clutter.

- ealhad 9y agoI don't think Haskell code looks like this. You don't have to use all the guru syntactic sugar; the library functions usually have pretty explicit names, and yours should have to.
