   OK, so apparently Haskell is the best thought of functional language out there?

   👉 Purely functional
   👉 Strongly typed
   👉 No side effects unless using monads
   👉 Doesn't perform awfully (https://benchmarksgame-team.pages.debian.net/benchmarksgame/faster/haskell.html)

   If anything it annoys me that it's so heavy it can only be compared to Racket, Java or .NET... and yeah, I don't really know where I would use it because Rust exists and it doesn't seem like the best shell language... :thinking_up:

     I still find Rust to be a better compromise... but wow, I now have a lot more of interest and respect for Haskell
