Sorry to hear about your experience. I hang out on Haskell Reddit a lot. If you link me to the particular Reddit threads in question that will help me understand the situation better and I'll try to prevent anything similar happening again.

To address your more specific question, yes, Haskell can mutate data in place. See, for example, https://hackage.haskell.org/package/vector-0.12.0.1/docs/Dat.... On the other hand, unless you've got another compelling reason to use Haskell one wouldn't tend to say that Haskell stands out as a language to implement that kind of thing in.

[EDIT: Having looked at your history of commenting about Haskell on Reddit I'm not surprised that people took offence.]

My seemingly offensive comments came after I received seemingly offensive comments from others. It's very rare that I start discussions by offensive comments.

I start discussions by disagreement though. If that is deemed offensive, what can I say.
