I agree. It's a very well-written post. I am not a Haskell person, but it was quite clear to me.

I feel that we don't put enough value, these days, on the ability to write clear, articulate exposition. Also, I believe that many people are not willing to read articles, books, or papers, of any meaningful length.

Everything needs to be boiled down to <10 min. read time, or <18 min. TED talks.

The way you somewhat randomly mention the value of clear and articulate exposition makes me assume you just had to wade through a 300-page specification document for a government contract regarding pencil sharpeners or something similar. If that's the case, you have my sympathy.

Anyways, I definitely agree.

Not recently (thank the Gods), but I used to work for a defense contractor, and I have dealt with many specification documents (like the Bluetooth spec).
