Haha sorry, I get those backwards a lot. I was gonna do elm but then it’d be a conversation about why we’re writing our own email address validation on the front end instead of using the platform.
Don't worry, that's normal -- in this forum we only talk about how good obscure languages are, nobody actually uses Haskell.
I figure you're joshing but I literally write it for work (although I haven't been in our haskell codebase in months, tragically). I just have a particularly smooth brain so I forget all the little differences as soon as I'm done. Always in exams mode.
