WARNING: Learning Haskell is dangerous to your health!

Though cut with syntactic sugar to be more palatable to newbies, each Haskell construct is in fact a contagious mix of higher-order functions, lambda expressions, and partial applications, a highly addictive gateway drug to category theory, initial algebras, and greco-morphisms.

I wonder if I even want to *know* what those are... o_O

Signs of addiction include prefixing co- to random words or needlessly replacing recursive functions with combinators and pointfree notation.

Hmm... well I haven't started doing *that* yet...

In some cases, hackage is irreversible and can lead to uncontrolled blogging.

OMG! I'm an addict! x_x -- http://blog.orphi.me.uk/
