You know what, I&#x27;ve found it immensely valuable to get acquainted with Haskell, even though I&#x27;ve never used it (and likely never will). The concepts are timelessly beautiful, simple to understand, and can feel enlightening to run-of-the-mill imperative&#x2F;OOP programmers.<p>What&#x27;s more, it seems to me that Haskell syntax is the lingua franca when discussing anything related to data types and functional programming these days. Those -&gt;&#x27;s are everywhere, it&#x27;s useful to know what they stand for.<p>Just skim a few chapters of learnyouahaskell.com; you won&#x27;t regret it.
