What is it good for?

You can make computer programs with it.

Yes, Haskell is a general-purpose programming language.

Everyone who knows Haskell will argue that it is the "best" programming language, and I do like to think, but I dont want to feel like I learned a language just as a thought excercise.

Any Haskell users want to defend the language?

uncurry (++) . partition (9 /=)

xmonad

Ive heard that in speed tests, with proper optimization, Haskell beats out C

Eliminates all race conditions

Advanced type system allows you to model your domain more accurately than other Langs meaning the compiler can eliminate more business logic bugs

Turing complete implicits means the compiler can generate code for you. E.g you hand it any ADT you have made and it will generate json parsers and serializers for it.

very nice... i wonder if most programmers end up making programs to organize their porn...

I know I am...

It's as general purpose as any modern language. It just follows a different paradigm.

>What can you actually make with it?
The core behind chordify is written in haskell for example.
