Hmm, now if this was Perl or something, that would be HiddenTypeVariables or something. Much less fearsom-sounding.
No, it's cute. Repulsively so.
Right. So giving things meaningful names is "repulsive"? No wonder Haskell has a reputation for being incomprehensible...
At any rate, if we're to have a logo, let's not have one which actively *promotes* the notion that Haskell is complex and difficult and that only theoretical physicists need apply...
I'd like to hold out, again, for the idea that we get a higher-quality community by promoting that notion.
In other words, you want to keep Haskell elitist. Well, if that's what the community in general wants, then fine. Personally, I strongly disagree with this snobbish point of view. But I am only one voice...
