Here's a comment in another part of the thread, I see now what the phrase "skewing smarter" means to you: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30258409 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30258409 I no longer have a horse in the race. I wonder why categorical claims really get the blood moving :)

If anyone blames you for getting fired up by my original phrasing it won’t be me! I thought I was making a drive-by anecdotal observation about a signal I’ve used to work with smarter people than myself, by the time I had read it over once or twice there were like 100 child comments and it was too late to choose more temperate language. It wasn’t my intention to imply that I was smart personally, rather that of the crazy effective people I’ve had the privilege of working with, Haskell hackers are wildly over-represented in that group.
