I started learning Haskell a week ago and after few days I already wrote a lengthy essay about Haskell, and most of it wasn't singing praises to it. Quite the contrary, it was how it sucks. The reasons vary but it probably has something with lispers' being spoiled brats. They're damn hard to impress. You show them the cool feature that your favourite language has and they either already have it, have something better or they've already seen it and decided it's not such a good idea as you might think. So this essey is from lisper point of view. I doubt that users of other languages will find much use of it.

The article mentions that " Programming in Haskell is like proving a mathematical theorem." This is one of the things I like most about Haskell. You don't have to guess that your program is right, you can prove that it is.
