I suspect you are right that there's a type of person Haskell feels very intuitive to. I think if your mind works that way you might have a hard time appreciating the degree of confusion "regular" programmers face when trying to decipher the mess of symbolic soup.
- yakshaving_jgt 4y agoThere is no reason for Haskell to be a "mess of symbolic soup". You can make Haskell about as human-readable as Ruby if you choose to.
- WorldMaker 4y agoSyntactically Haskell and OCaml are extremely close. A lot of the surface difference between the two languages has nothing to do with syntax and has so much more to do with how things are named by default in the standard libraries. (There are massive differences in the type system and all sorts of subtle differences below the surface, of course.)
