Can you cite that ? Have you tried doing Numerical (or Symbolic) computation in Haskell ?

Look, asking people to cite opinions is a dumb way of having casual discussion.

If you need any more input from me to convince you to learn something new, then it's not worth my time or yours.

Like I said the tooling isn't as mature but the language enables me to produce results faster with fewer bugs that is much easier to maintain down the road.

The only numerical computing I've ever really programmed for was manipulation of time series data and some standard statistical methods.

I did it at first in Python with Pandas and numpy. Then moved to Haskell. The language was better but the tooling I had to shore up in places.

Take that if it's useful to you :)
