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.

"Don't have to" or "cannot"? Don't forget that language limitations shape thinking limitations.
How about a simple demonstration: you've got a bunch of same-class objects (units in a game), each of them has a field "position" (with three sub-fields x, y, z), a field of "armor" and a field of "health". You need to decrement the health of all units within radius 10 from the point (10, 20, 30) by 5, multiply the coordinates of all units by 1 and then get the list of armor values of all the units. Let's see you do that without lenses, Mr. "I don't need your shit even if what I have is inferior".
