Yikes, someone has a case of the Mondays!
I think playing around with the abstractions that Haskell offers can be very rewarding when you go back to your "regular language". It's just approachable enough that you can learn some really advanced techniques and dip your toes into category theory all through self study.
As for Ruby, I'm not proficient in it, but plenty of people have built amazing products using it and seem happy with their language of choice. Not sure why they should be bashed for poor programming when in the end, results are the only thing that matters.

Since he's throwing a lot of rocks, I'll say his house is looking pretty glass :) Slaying imaginary orcs isn't exactly the height of comedy.
- DRMacIver 12y agoThe difference is, I know when I'm not being funny.
- rnalexander 12y agoDo you know that by invoking "Case of the Mondays" you're referring to a specific character from the movie Office Space ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2AB9zPfXqQQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2AB9zPfXqQQ ) who, in making that comment and then chuckling to herself as she walked away, presented almost a perfect example of someone who thinks they are far more funny than anyone else does? You do get that right?
- npizzolato 12y agoI chuckled too, probably because I had similar thoughts as the GP when reading the article. Sure, it was low hanging fruit, but I'd rather laugh at that than be someone who sticks their nose up because they're too good for games like Cards Against Humanity and pop culture references.

- malvosenior 12y agoYep I get it. That is the whole point of the joke after all.
