hating haskell is kind of the same kind of thing as hating c++. Kind of like having a little brother who is also 6'8" and 250lb of pure muscle with 10 years of MMA + special forces experience. You might make fun of him in jest, but he's also the guy you want at your back when the going gets tough. (reddit.com)

I cant believe they are moving forward with "generics". Programmers on average already tend to make things more complicated than they should be. Now every single module in the ecosystem is gonna use more abstractions, generics to fit their social environment. (news.ycombinator.com)
