I like that description, it conveys a sense for what can be appealing about it.<p>But, if I look at Deep Learning, I see a freight train to the future. If I look at Haskell, I see a lot of... well, debating about... things.. well I just don&#x27;t see where it&#x27;s going. I get the sense that it&#x27;s a gleeful little clever club that exists as an alternative to doing actual work.<p>And, where&#x27;s the counterexample, Haskell is a freight train to where? What&#x27;s the future that Haskell brings?<p>This is really a sincere question. I&#x27;ve been programming long enough to feel the limitations of existing tools. But, will humans even be coding in 30 years?
