Hi List, I came to Haskell from Java. At the beginning I was trying to map traditional notions of mainstream languages onto the FP world as “How to replace inheritance and late binding?”, etc. If Java developers drink coffee, then what is the model beverage for haskellers? “Psyllium Husk” fits the role, because besides phonetic similarities, the beverage is lazy (the recipe is simple - mix powder with water) and immutable (goes through the intestinal tract largely unaltered). Plus it is far off mainstream. -- Best regards, Daniil Iaitskov

The great scientist Steve Ballmer of Microsoft made us aware of the
positive effects of alcohol on software development, see the science site
XKCD for an explanation:
The Ballmer Peak

The Ballmer Peak is proven to exist according to The Observer:

There is actually a number of Haskell-related drinks:
Haskell wine (from South-Africa)

Haskell's Rum

Haskell's Vodka

And a recipe for the cocktail The Ross on Haskell:

Maybe you could eat Haskell seafood to go with the drinks:
