My first language was Racket and so naturally I gravitated to the lispy untyped functional programming style even when I was using languages like Python or Java, but when I tried Haskell for the first time my mind was absolutely blown and I was a convert ever since. What are your thoughts?

    My main functional programming is Scala, which I absolutely love as a programming language. Due to it’s simple implicits feature it feels a light as weak-typing but with the guarantees and debuggability of strong types. The types are there but the RSI isn’t! However my experience is limited.
