Tip: Don't use any language like *another language*
Conversation
And all Haskell books I've seen say that a reason for learning Haskell is because it makes you a better programmer in any language. I'm not too sure of that tbh...

I think learning different languages have given me other perspectives on programming. Sometimes it's nice to have a different style of thinking available to you in the language you're using. I got that from Haskell, but I also got it from Rust, Mercury, Lean, Agda, Smalltalk, &c.
100% agree. Every different language gives you some new idioms and concepts to work with that can sometimes transfer well to other languages. I do believe learning Haskell made me a better programmer — but so too did Racket, Python, OCaml, etc.

But did it make you more employable or less?
