Thanks for writing it! I'm a Python programmer in my day job. I have sometimes remarked that the reason I play around with Haskell in my free time is because I don't want to see another run time type error unless I'm being paid to do so. But I needed to do some spreadsheet-scraping and data-munging for a personal project and I figured it would be easier in Python. So I searched and found your article and it was just what I needed. Now to sneak it in at work...

I'm a fan of cool type systems and Haskell in particular too. Also doing lots of messing with data for personal stuff (e.g. https://beepb00p.xyz/mypkg.html#examples https://beepb00p.xyz/mypkg.html#examples). But yep, at least for me, the reality is if I need some quick yet useful code, Python happens to get me there very fast, just because of the sheer amount of code people already have written in Python.
