Huh, good post, thanks. What are you usually working with, Haskell? Or I saw Elm mentioned on your blog. I've been considering learning Clojure as something new to help broaden my skills (currently using TypeScript in my day-to-day and some noob-level knowledge of Haskell). Your post has me reconsidering, haha >_>

Yes, I mostly work with Haskell. I'm the CTO at Supercede and our project is currently ~100,000 lines of Haskell code.

I think every developer ought to at least learn Elm. Being forced to think so lucidly about the types and effects of your systems is unreasonably effective, and I think it shapes the way you then write code in other languages.
