This isn't the first time I got myself wondering "where do people derive these ideas from?" I need to read and re-read (and perhaps read once again) a post full of pictures every time someone try to explain me a new concept in Haskell. And the more it happens the more I'm convinced that this language is not an everyday tool.
I don't want people to misinterpret me, I decided to learn Haskell and I don't regret it. But I often feel it's more like trying to cut vegetables with a katana: it's challenging, it's fun to practice, and surely it's a powerful tool, but even if I become a master at it I won't accomplish much alone, and I definetly won't want people trying this next to me.
The thought of a bad programmer trying to look smart while fiddling in my Haskell code scares me to no end.
