My impression of the Haskell community is its full of snobbery and complaining.
This has got to be the 4th javascript ducks post on hn in the past week.
I like hearing the positive aspects of Haskell. However, the language x sucks posts are tiresome.
Develop an imagination. Javascript can be wielded very effectively. It's just different. I hope that I or someone else wires posts on what can be done to be effective with javascript and weakly typed systems.
There are advantages to using weakly typed languages, mostly centered around flexibility and rapid iteration. The disadvantages are alleviated by comprehensive functional or black box testing. Skip the unit tests.
I feel liberated by not having a strong type system restricting my options. Ymmv. People have different styles and preferences.
