It's more that Haskell is so powerful and expressive that it let's you see and quickly wxploret ever more powerful and related abstractions, where most other languages would bog you down in syntax or semantic cul-de-sacs that force you to stop (or drain your energy for) expanding the program's power.
- bunderbunder 8y agoI think you could easily frame it either way. Which framing works best depends on the context. When I'm having fun, or trying to learn, exploring abstractions is deeply edifying. When I'm on the clock, though, any time I spend on "expanding the program's power" beyond the minimum necessary to get the job done is wasteful.
