> Haskell is just too far from what we expect

Who's "we"?

I spent years writing JavaScript, PHP, and Ruby. I thought Haskell was weird and hard, and probably not practical in the real world.

As it turned out, I was just being a fool. Once you actually learn it, you realise how silly the opinions are that you had of it before you learned it.

Advent of Code is running right now. Why don't you just try learning the language?

I learned the language more than 10 years ago. No, it's not for me. Please don't assume that because somebody doesn't find Haskell readable the person must be ignorant.
