| 2025-11-11 06:22:58 +0100 | <fgarcia> | pattern matching is amazing as well |

| 2025-11-11 05:58:43 +0100 | <Square2> | jreicher, Great point. I semi had that in my list. |

| 2025-11-11 05:48:08 +0100 | geekosaur | suddenly wonders f we could adopt or mangle lwall's triptych |
| 2025-11-11 05:46:49 +0100 | <jreicher> | Square2: if you can find a way to describe the composability of Haskell then they might see how much more reuse you can get out of existing code. That appeals to lazy (in a good way) programmers. |
| 2025-11-11 05:43:39 +0100 | <geekosaur> | (doesn't work if they can push debugging off onto the junior in the group…) |
| 2025-11-11 05:43:24 +0100 | <geekosaur> | more time writing code, less time debugging |
| 2025-11-11 05:42:56 +0100 | <Square2> | ...or less stress, imho. |
| 2025-11-11 05:42:38 +0100 | <Square2> | geekosaur, good point. Sleep better. I actually already had that in my list. |
| 2025-11-11 05:42:04 +0100 | <jreicher> | Not all programmers do, unfortunately. And even worse, not all jobs require it. |
| 2025-11-11 05:42:00 +0100 | <Square2> | It's not your worst devs, but some are definitely more interested in the daily coffee break than learning new things. |
| 2025-11-11 05:41:13 +0100 | <geekosaur> | "writing code with fewer bugs" |
| 2025-11-11 05:40:26 +0100 | <jreicher> | Does your audience care about being better at creating programs? (I know that's a cynical question.) |
| 2025-11-11 05:39:47 +0100 | <Square2> | But I guess that's a bit vague. |
| 2025-11-11 05:39:19 +0100 | <Square2> | Personally I feel learning Haskell was a milestone of my work life. Wo exaggerating. It made me better creating programs I wanted and also gave me a better sense of what is possible (and what's not) when it comes to modeling. |

| 2025-11-11 05:38:45 +0100 | <jreicher> | The type system SHOULD be a selling point for Haskell too, but I'm not sure it is. |

| 2025-11-11 05:36:02 +0100 | <jreicher> | What garbage collection did for memory management, pure functional languages do for every aspect of data structure management. So the entire class of reference-management mistakes get eliminated. Null references is the most common of those. |
| 2025-11-11 05:35:20 +0100 | <jreicher> | This I would not repeat, but it's how I think about this stuff... |
| 2025-11-11 05:35:00 +0100 | <Square2> | That's a good one! |
