  >I wouldn't know. It was impossible to learn. People shouldn't downvote you: the sarcasm bit is funny, and it does actually point out to one of the major reason Haskell is not gaining more acceptance in spite of its many great features: . the syntax is completely alien (to the point of turning quasi APL-ish in some cases) and scares away potential users. . the community is so focused on esoteric stuff that the "how do I do X that's super easy to do in traditional languages" is completely missing from the conversation.

    The syntax is not alien. Care to give an actual example that confused you?
