Haskell

I first got interested in Haskell in 2018, and made a second pass in 2020, and now at the start of 2022 I am working on it yet again.

People will argue with me of course, but my opinion is that Haskell is not useful for actually writing real programs. It is very much worth learning in order to get comfortable with functional programming. Many useful languages -- Kotlin, Ruby, even Python are incorporating tools from the world of functional programming.

Behond utility, learning Haskell is fun and challenging; mentally stimulating. My mind has been enriched by learning what I have about Haskell.
