gollark: Yes. It's not unique to Haskell.

gollark: For example, if I was doing Haskell, I could write everything awfully in `IO` and make it very comprehensible to a C user, or I could write it in some crazy pointfree way which I don't understand 5 seconds after writing it.

gollark: e.g. you probably wouldn't just go for C, if you wanted to avoid being caught.

gollark: You can't infer much from language choice as people will obviously try and spoof that.

gollark: Often you can *write* a thing in a basic obvious way, but *read* code doing it in a fancy exotic way.
