> I spent years wasting time on Haskell and wouldn’t recommend it unless you find joy in the purely academic. You must have chose to do academic things then because I was able to use it for simple real world applications the first day. > The “it teaches you to think a certain way” is IMO a really weak argument Not when it can be used with all other languages. > no one has ever paid me to write it. I suppose if I were willing to take a huge pay cut I could have found something, I got a pay raise and suspect many others would as well.
