How is Haskell "weird"?
I've used Python for many years, but only recently have I migrated my last Python niche (simple scripts) from Python to Haskell. I've found that even there, Haskell has become more productive.
Functional the world (of wide-spread computing languages) is imperative, lazy the world is eager, objects-less when the world is object-oriented, curried when the world is uncurried, pattern-matched when the world is conditional and brings up "strange" concepts from mathematical bowels like "monads", "functors" or "zippers" when the world barely iterates on arrays.
How is Haskell not weird from the point of view of 99% of the developers population? Knowing, liking or using Haskell is not even relevant there, Haskell is weird because it is an alien to the majority in the same way Smalltalk, Erlang or Clojure are weird (but for different reasons, for the most part).
