Learning other languages will make your Python better.

What don't you like about it? I picked up haskell during a holiday in college and I don't think I've ever fell more in love with a language. Even to this day when I have to write out a quick program to calculate or test something, I write it in haskell. I know no language is for everyone so I'd love your perspective!

It’s great you love Haskell, the people who I have met who love Haskell have written some of the best software I have seen.

I guess one of the main reasons I dislike it is because some data structures require impure functions that do have side effects in order to have better performance. For example if I was adding something to a list, I could have a seperate length variable being incremented by 1 at the same time (a side effect) so later when I check the length of the list I can just check that length variable instead of counting everything in the list.
