I want to code so bad, but even now as I contemplate a green field project I just cant convince myself its a pragmatic decision...

I really need to find siome way to use this amazingly gun language!

@freemo I have similar worries about pragmatism if I stray of a well troden path. I find that's balanced by the joy of using / learning different languages.

If you can, just try it. If you hit a wall early on then pivot. Logic can be moved to another language.

Although niche, Haskell is a very solid and mature language, as you probably already know. 😁

Good luck! Have fun! :haskell:

@freemo The assessment in a functional programming course I teach is to write a command line interface (CLI) program in Haskell. I won't bore you with the specifics. But if you have a CLI you fancy writing, try using Haskell. (BTW optparse-applicative is your friend for CLIs.)

... because you'll spend so much more time learning your other languages better so you don't have to use Haskell.
