nthing this. I think I would have given up programming a few years ago if Haskell didn't exist. (Maybe I could have settled for OCaml or Clojure.) Probably I would have gone into management but I certainly wouldn't still be enjoying being an individual contributor! I'd also like to reiterate your final paragraph, in case anyone misinterprets you and thinks that Haskell is just about novelty or doing things a "different" way. For me it's about doing things a way that actually makes any sense at all. > The thing I loved was that it allowed and encouraged me to find the _best_ solution to a problem, as opposed to just 'something that works'.
