Haskell is growing

I love it how Haskell is becoming more and more widespread and widely known. More and more people use Haskell at universities and in the industry, enrich the ecosystem and work on GHC. It is really gaining a foothold in the programming world. If there's any language that deserves to displace some of the ancient crap that's plaguing the mainstream, it is Haskell. It really shows that academic soundness means real practical productiveness.

It's just an example of how lenses are first-class and can be composed around, zoomed, traversed, inverted and all sorts of funky shit the imperative languages don't let you do.

You don't do that shit in real languages because you don't have to.
Haskell programming is like tying both your hands behind your back, and inventing elaborate devices that with some training let you accomplish everyday tasks using only your feet.
