I just started learning Haskell last year (at my own pace on my own time) and from the minute I wrote a recursive function I understood how freeing and smooth writing in Haskell was going to feel. Once I got used to the new concepts this was going to be like butter... The two problems I have with it are the archaic standard library and the tooling. Because everything is atomic and strongly typed, you basically have to rote memorize the standard library before you can use any of it. The tooling is just clunky, I can't come up with a better term. The author is right IMO. I haven't been writing it long enough to get the rug pulled out from under me with regard to breaking changes and that, I guess we will see how that goes. But the language itself... It's like finding this magical thing. I wish Haskell had better tooling and at least more approachable documentation for the prelude.
