Haskell Nightmares

Has anyone else had experience with this language? Haskell is a functional language and as such a total mystery to me. I did try and I’m far from an idiot but I’m afraid Haskell never gripped me and in fact actively repulsed me in its strange ways. In my university years the tutor was a **** and wasn’t a great inspiration for the language – in fact it was probably him that put me off for life. His name being Nick Dyson for anyone at my old university who may know him.

So anyway back to Haskell and its total lack of use. Thats right, I can’t see it being of any use and if you look at its huge list of applications you’ll agree. Its quite pitiful to see.

If there’s any Haskell fanatics/lunatics out there then drop me a line if you think I’m being unfair. Maybe you can inspire me a little better than Old Nick.
