Re: [Haskell-beginners] sometimes Haskell isn't what you want

I went back to it for one day (yesterday) and that was enough to make me realize how unpleasant its inconsistencies, inconsistent documentation, awkwardnesses, etc.

Haskell is a gift and I'm not throwing it away.

Luckily this is a small list, otherwise a flame war would have started by now. Personally, I learnt the basics of Haskell in the year 2000 in college. I am re-learning it again, and it's an absolute delight. I am not a programmer by profession - and this is the only language which *makes* me want to learn it as I am generally interested in math and bit of CS theory. It's also interesting to note that Haskell is being used in finance, and maybe I will get to use it professionally one day. Regards, Anindya
