Can I ask a question about Haskell?  I see a lot of excitement about it, but, honestly it seems a bit over my head and I&#x27;d love to understand.<p>Deep learning, for example, has opened the door to some pretty incredible advances, I&#x27;m astonished monthly at least by what people are accomplishing. Stuff that&#x27;s getting close to the uncanny valley.<p>I see equally smart people enraptured with Haskell. And, maybe it&#x27;s just over my head, but so far no practical advance is apparent. To me at least. So, for the sake of the nonbelievers, it would be grand to share some of the hopes that merit the great energies that go into languages like Haskell.<p>(ps. thanks to Scrollaway for asking, below)
