Haskell is not a perfect language - but I don't really agree on the points raised by the author.

- String vs ByteString vs Text - seriously tired of csing everythin

- Lazy by default is fun - but makes everything harder to optimize. What would happen if Haskell were strict? https://nikita-volkov.github.io/if-haskell-were-strict/

- Records are not namespaced - https://nikita-volkov.github.io/record/
