  > If you did not spend enough time in Haskell to realize that you are in no position to judge it. Sadly this will never stop anyone from doing it anyway. I had a VPE (didn't know Haskell) who tried to read some of the team's Haskell and couldn't grok it despite his many years of software experience. His response?
