Haskell is very simple. Everything is composed of Functads which are themselves a Tormund of Gurmoids, usually defined over the Devons. All you have to do is stick one Devon inside a Tormund and it yields Reverse Functads (Actually Functoids) you use to generate Unbound Gurmoids.

Replying to @niftierideology @St_Rev
Once every couple months I get annoyed and say “I really ought to decode this bs to make sure it really is all nonsense like it sounds” and spend an hour googling and can’t find anything that makes it not sound like nonsense and give up again.

Dunno. Vast majority of my programming experience is in lisp, and I’m totally happy with functions of functions of function that return functions of functions or whatever.

I was a Clojure user before Haskell and Common Lisp before that.

It would certainly be easy to make a language cleaner than CL (a hippopotamus designed by a committee), and I’m quite willing to believe Haskell is that. (As also is Scheme.)

I’m also quite willing to believe that static typing with powerful type inference could win big (but I’ve never programmed in a statically typed language other than braindead algol derivatives, which suck, but that’s a different thing).

Replying to @Meaningness @bitemyapp and
This point, right here (static typing with powerful type inference ) is 85% of what's going on.

That part I can totally believe, and in fact I’m intrigued enough by it that I’m tempted to learn Haskell to see what it’s like.
