Reflecting on Haskell in 2015
I really enjoyed this. Just wanted to comment on the author&#x27;s brief comments on Elm.<p>&gt; As of yet, there is no rich polymorphism or higher-kinded types. As such a whole family of the usual functional constructions (monoids, functors, applicatives, monads) are inexpressible.<p>I completely understand that this make Elm quite limited compared to Haskell as the author uses it, but these limitations are precisely what makes Elm accessible to newcomers. I think it&#x27;s a great way to get people into Haskell syntax like partial application and into the functional way of thinking in general.<p>I have learned Haskell very gradually over the past 6 years, and I still find advanced Haskell with all the language extensions very daunting to get into.
