Haskell is a really nice language. In general I don’t identify as an X programmer for any value of X: I tend to write in a half dozen languages daily and they all suck in their own special way.
But on two separate occasions I made important career decisions with opportunity cost to work with highly lethal GHC contributors: those people are just really good.
If Haskell sucks like all languages it’s because Haskell excels at using computers to compute something: Haskell considers data shuffling a strictly secondary concern compared to doing actual computations.
