Hey I am sponsored by Turso, an edge database. I think they are pretty neet. Give them a try for free and if you want you can get a decent amount off (the free tier is the best (better than planetscale or any other))

One day I will use Haskell, neovim and Arch Linux all at the same time. This will make me become the next step in human evolution.

Prime is going to become a die-hard Haskell fanboy someday. I'll be there for it. 😂

My university's in-production online course management and enrolment system, exclusively for the IT faculty, is written entirely in Haskell.

2 years of Haskell in production (together with Elm); the learning curve is painful but the payback is unreal. Best way to write bug free code at high speed, and with a bit of practice to have runtime that perform on execution speed & memory footprint near what you get out of C++ (minus the runtime errors).

[nclanceman]

Haskell researchers have a plan. You've just gotta have faith.

[basione]

Ah... Back when Haskell community was pleasant and had sense of humour.

If you're confused about monads, let me explain:
Monads are Monoids in the category of endofunctors.

It's really as simple as that.

I saw Haskell in the title and hoped that you were finally going to try it, but the article was funny enough to compensate for my disappointment ☺️

[hjf]

I still don't know what Haskell actually is. All I know is that after setting up LaTeX on my computer, I regularly get gigabytes of Haskell related updates per month whenever I pacman -Syu

[nikolatomic]

My favorite part of the video is when he said it's Haskellin' time and then he Haskelled all over the place

[an_imminence]

I was once paid to write web Haskell (called Elm) in College. Most beautiful error messages ever, ran bug free once it compiled. Then the XML parser library produced a stack overflow for reasonably sized XML because it was written maximally recursive. Working around that soured the experience somewhat xD

[flippert]

My Haskell course back at college prevented me to see that "Monads" actually _are_ a useful design pattern. Needed me a long time to look beyond that functor/category theory stuff that drove me away.

[Vicegale]

all the names are red dead characters lmfao

[raffimolero]

i tried haskell once
it gave me the urge to code in untyped lambda calculus

[sorcdk]

That Haskell userbase is way higher than that! We had a mandatory (well at the master level) course, where learning haskell and some of the fun stuff in it was part of it. I still find it to be the premier language to write quick and dirty interpreters in, as the use of a state monad as output makes it "super easy", at least once you have wrapped your head around it. If you ever want to learn Haskell, my suggestion is to try and write a small simple interpreter in it.
Other than that, I would hazard a guess that one could say that Haskell already has a monadic composition-functor wrapper, which I interpret as the ability to make custom binary operators that are curriable, which is quite neat thing.

[rezzubs]

It seems to me like Haskell has a lot of the same features that you love in Ocaml but with a cleaner syntax and extra purity. I know it's a bit of a meme at this point but surely you'd like it. All the 'mathy' words sound stupid but they're just abstractions for common patterns that you also find in other languages. Like in Rust you have the `?` operator which allows you to work with the inner values based on context. Those types are basically monads. Wouldn't it be cool if you could write custom types that can utilize the `?` operator in a similar way, do some computation based on context?

[apollolux]

I knew an Aussie PhD who worked on the old Google Wave project who was also super down with Haskell. I never understood why though, but maybe it was because he was more an academic than I was since he became a professor after that and I chose to just stay at bachelor's level with comp sci.

[andzagorulko]

As a person that follows rust and c# releases and uses neither I feel attacked

[Tomyb]

You will code in haskell one day, and you will love it.

[kylestubblefield]

The number if times "I have thought, Hey, I should learn Haskell", then realized I need to eat...
