Haskell IS a Great Language for Data Science

I’ve been learning Haskell for a few years now and I am really liking a lot of the features, not least the strong typing and functional approach. I thought it was lacking some of the things I missed from R until I found the dataHaskell project. In this post I’ll demonstrate some of the features and explain why I think it makes for a good (great?) data science language.

@jonocarroll saw your blog posted on the data science reddit, pretty hilarious or sad depending on your mood

@defuneste yeah, quite a few people entirely missing the argument being made and complaining about something different. I wonder if they even read the post. r/programming was no better.

@jonocarroll not reading your blog was on point with reddit (kind of) but the comments show a total lack of curiosity which feel weird for DS...

@defuneste @jonocarroll that comment thread was quite the ride.
