Reception
One critic called it "a beauty".[5]
gollark: I'm mostly happy to use anything which does syntax highlighting, good ctrl+F and autoindent.
gollark: And it is bad and uncool because it is very verbose to do some things in.
gollark: Extra friction with creating types discourages good practice in the form of creating dedicated sensible types where necessary.
gollark: In Java if you want to declare a new type to store some data and have equality and hashing and whatnot, it's horrible and complex and you can't even do operator overloading.
gollark: I mean, in sane languages if you want to declare a new type you can do `data Bees = Bees Int String deriving (Show, Eq)` or whatever.
