What's a paper every Haskeller should read?

Some paper on Lisp macros or runtime reflection in smalltalk. Anything that opens their minds and humbles them. Emphatically not yet another Haskell paper that preaches to the choir.

I've done this and it made me bitter rather than a better Haskeller because there's no way to work those techniques into Haskell technically or culturally.

Well, the premise of having every haskeller read a same article is precisely about what could stir the culture in a productive direction. <Insert St Exupéry pseudo-quote about aspiration.>

Color me skeptical but willing to be happily surprised.

I recently made a couple of suggestions what to steal from Smalltalk. In fact only a couple of examples need runtime reflection, the rest are statically available.

I watched your talk but it didn't feel right to preemptively say so, idk I overthink these tweets

Replying to @Iceland_jack @deech and
Is it really the case that the only meaningful actions available, are those that require significant organizational/cultural/institutional persuasion? Or Is it possible to target a smaller goal that implements a proof-of-concept, just with a few collaborators?

If a language improvement project can be done incrementally project by a few collaborators, then it doesn't require every haskeller to read a paper. Mandatory reading is useful for culture-wide aspirational insight for where to go, otherwise it's a waste of most people's time.
