Heaven will become beautiful now. I don't know more Haskell than I learnt at university, but even from that alone, I saw it was something special. I'll never forget that and the impression it made on me.

I particularly remember a short application I had to write down on paper on the exam; I did it well enough and I thought what I wrote was so beautiful and simple... I think Haskell developers will know what I'm talking about. The best applications almost look like magic.

If Haskell was a traditional writen language, I think it would have been pretty well known and studied, like hieroglyphs or some other language carving out its own niche. Sometimes I feel like this whole programming world has so many interesting, exciting, and thought provoking things going on within it that the rest of the world will never come to know. Haskell was one of those things to me and I think it's unfortunate that it's such a closed world.
