In part though it makes a point.
Some may disagree, but I don't think Haskell is in any way useful as a general
programming language. What I do think Haskell is useful for is a gymnasium
or playground. In other words it is good for entertainment.
I am not a crusader aiming to convert the world into doing all programming
in Haskell -- in fact I think that would be a terrible idea.
So, let's just have fun ...
The quote above supposedly comes from the greek stoics --- it seemed apt here.
Have any comments? Questions?
