I would like to learn Haskell but even though I tried to look for more information, I cannot understand why people shill for this language. It seems powerful with math stuff but what else? What are the powers of haskell, what it could be used for? Even if I would learn it, I don't know what I would use it for at all.

same things you normally do in C++

it's a fundamentally different model of execution, but its feature-wise equivalent to OOP/imperative; in the same fashion that imperative is equivalent to OOP

primary benefit though is being much better at writing generic code, both in the sense of small composable functions, and generic types, than the alternative models. primary loss, particularly with haskell's laziness, is realizing performance hits without profiling

but if you really want to be cool, you would use forth

or perhaps lisp (racket?)

I don't see any reason to use Haskell, it's a failure in my books.

>explicit strict functionality but has assways around it making it moot and those ways around are there because people realized pure functionality is pretty useless

>gigantic installation size, comes with three almost identical implementations (static dynamic runtime) due to shit design that doesn't allow using one for all cases

Ok listen little faggot, have you ever written an interrupt routine? You're like some nigger in the deep ocean with no clue with what's underneath you.

Ocaml is better btw.
