Having only ever dabbled in Haskell, I feel the same way, but I'm aware that proficient Haskell programmers don't tend to agree. How do you rate your Haskell skills?
I've heard the same said of another 'weird and wonderful' language: Forth. Yes, it's incomprehensible if you aren't familiar with the language, but that's not really who the language is for.
- dleslie 6y agoI wrote a fair bit of Haskell about a decade ago; I'd rate myself a novice still, but I'm confident that I could knock out some games in a game jam using Haskell. I'm surprised no one has plugged Hoogle. It was the hands-down best resource to make Haskell reasonable for me. But even still, I found code that I wrote in Haskell not unlike the plentiful amount of code I wrote in Perl: returning to it after the fact was tedious.
