Out of curiosity, what don't you like about Haskell?

  Good question. I haven't revisited it in over 10 years. I think it was just too much "new" stuff to learn at once, making it feel too difficult to do anything in it at the time, especially considering I wasn't learning it full time. Maybe now that I'm older and wiser (debatable) a revisit is in order, but lately I prefer dynamically typed languages (like Clojure and Elixir) to statically typed ones. I'll probably add it to my TODO list, but the list is long and time is short.

    Yup, there's never enough time. If you do try feel free to reach out to me at any time.

    Well if you like Clojure you probably also appreciate how it doesn't just give you mutable variables everywhere but instead gives you different tools for different purposes. You have transients, atoms, agents, volatiles etc for different use cases.
