I'm not a big fan of condescension and being spoken to like a half-wit. I'm sure you're much smarter than me. You've certainly demonstrated all of my favorite characteristics of Haskellers. Like I said, I love Haskell, have written a good amount of it, and am excited to keep learning more. Unfortunately, one of the big downsides of Haskell is having to learn it from people like you.
- asdasf 13y agoI was not condescending nor did I speak to you like a half-wit. Unfortunately it is quite difficult to call someone out on making statements that demonstrate ignorance without causing offense. Haskell has many problems, but the things you listed are misconceptions and misunderstands spread around by people who have heard about haskell but not used it. I'd certainly like it if you are able to be more specific about what you think the "weird IO system" problem is.
- maxerickson 13y agoIn some sense, it is condescending to insist that you were not. You may be certain that was not your intent, but you can't really know how your words come across.
