At least one. (Me) And, judging from the amount of references to Python in these mailing-lists, I really doubt I'm the only one.

At least two. I also came to Haskell from Python.

Me three.

I actually met Haskell mostly by reading about it in the python mailinglist/newsgroup. (in e.g. Alex Martelli's posts)

I met Haskell because I started writing all of my Python code with a single return point, was overusing reduce and map, building function pipelines, and finally someone asked me if I'd used Haskell before.

I met Haskell by first meeting Vyper, which was a more functionally-slanted variant of Python, which was written in Ocaml. This led me to Haskell, which I liked better.

Haskell is beautiful on the outside and the inside. :-)

Yes, Haskell is beautiful inside and outside. That's something that has kept me interested in it for years. 'Conceptually pure' is what I call it.

Yep. Bryn
