Linux is like PHP and BSD is like Haskell.

  This is an absurdly good analogy.

  If PHP supported containers and Haskell didn't -- though we all know Haskell's `jails` feature is absurdly better in all respects, and all white-coated CompSci PhDs know it.

  Can you elaborate please? I'm not quite grasping the analogy.

    Linux/PHP * GPL license (until PHP4) * evolutionary * has warts * pragmatic * gets shit done * everyone uses it * lots tips online (good and bad) * you have crazy idea, too late, it has already been done BSD/Haskell * BSD license * designed * elegant * by the book * theoretically correct * nobody uses it * read the man pages * you shouldn't do that probably more, maybe something about globals vs jails/monads. Many of these things stems from evolutionary vs designed.
