I'm a big fan of taking advantage of laziness and think it's drastically underrated. It's incredibly expressive and it's what really makes Haskell more than just an ML variant.

I gave a slightly rough talk about "Thinking with Laziness"[1] which tries to capture how expressive it can be. I'm a big fan and sad that so many people are willing to categorically dismiss it as a wart in Haskell.
