Haskell rocks

In this thread we praise the awesome Haskell and extol on its glorious features

for instance, say you have an arbitrarily complex data type, if you add
          deriving (Show, Read, Eq)
to the definition

Haskell will automatically figure out how to 1) convert it into a string 2) parse a string into data 3) compare for equality

How fucking awesome is that! Automatic hassle-free serialisation!

No more fucking around with how to parse a matrix! read m :: Matrix yay!

One word, forced referential transparency. Thread over.

Trolls

Who always keen to   criticize the mouse   for too long   since the last   datum was handled   incrementing the instruction   set a jump   instruction Sure enough   the next program   instruction was in   first grade Depends   on if you   wish to program   in any language   that are better   at it than   C i Scheme   unpure due to   its DOS underpinnings   Windows also recognizes   a whole host   of other characters   such as asterisks   and spaces as   have special meanings.
