Coding fortran all day, I wanted a new approach on programming. The strong scientific roots of haskell would give me stuff to learn and discover for a lot of time. The atmosphere/halo around haskell was intriguing too: "come on! it's fun! i can write foldr with foldl!" is not the kind of enthusiasm I was used too :)
Haskell is an academic asset as well as a fun asset.
The third reason is, as you already now, the community. Never have seen so much encouragements, help, time, humility, jokes,... crossing the gap takes some time, but when you feel that lots of people are glad you're here, it's just constant joy.
group hug !
