It kind of sounds like using curiosity as a gatekeeping mechanism I don't know about 'using'. I think it just is one - learning is possible but terribly inefficient in its absence. There's also nothing to suggest that someone who isn't curious today can't become more curious as time goes on Very true & thanks for reminding me. That we can & do change (and must leave space for each other to) is one of the drums I like to bang now and then.

I definitely agree there -- it's definitely part of the barrier to entry, people have to start looking for other ways of doing things before they'll land on haskell since it isn't main stream. The things from haskell that are trickling out into the mainstream should (hopefully) be pointing people back at haskell, if it's at least mentioned in passing > Very true & thanks for reminding me.

Yeah I really felt this when I watched Sandy's talk on polysemy (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-dHFOjcK6pA0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-dHFOjcK6pA0 There were parts he didn't quite fully understand and he mentions it Also to temper my previous comment, I want to be clear that I don't necessarily want every single able bodied coder to necessarily join the haskell ecosystem -- I am at least a little cynical in that I believe if there exist good contributors (that you do want) there are probably bad ones (that you don't want).
