Sounds like the Haskell version of Eric S. Raymond's oft quoted claim about Lisp: "Lisp is worth learning for the profound enlightenment experience you will have when you finally get it; that experience will make you a better programmer for the rest of your days, even if you never actually use Lisp itself a lot."

I mean it’s true. For Haskell you design for programs with no side-effects.
