Really? Heh, and here I was thinking I just get trolled by Warp because 
C++ is clearly better.

(Does it scare anyone else that I don't know C++ yet I get paid to 
produce commercial applications in C++?)

My favourite one to show people is the 400-line C++ module I wrote in 
our application, and the corresponding 10-line Haskell function that 
does the same thing and is drastically easier to read. Unsurprisingly, 
my boss is unswayed by this. (But most other people are like "OMG, ARE 
YOU SERIOUS??! How some it's so much shorter? Haskell must be really 
powerful. I guess nobody here would ever be able to understand it...")

Yeah, I was at Blackpool for 2014. We got 4th place again - but unlike 
the previous time, there were actually some contestants to compete 
against, so it felt like more of an achievement. Oh, and last night I 
got presented with my latest dance exam award. (Not that my partner was 
around... I seriously think she's got bored of me. I never seen to see 
her anymore...)

Like peanut butter?

Seriously - I did a Haskell VFAQ a while back, didn't I? Those same 
questions keep repeating themselves. Although more recently, you'll see, 
like, six unnamed users all simultaneously post almost identical 
questions about "how do I update a binary tree?" or something. It's as 
if somebody's setting Haskell questions as homework...
