alt Hacker News>...you also save on not having to remember useless terminology...
It may be true in this particular case, but in my admittedly brief experience using Haskell you absolutely end up having to remember a hell of a lot of useless terminology for incredibly trivial things.
Terminology doesn't bother me nearly as much as people defining custom operators.
I used to think it was cute the you could make custom operators in Haskell but as I've worked more with the language, I wish the community would just accept that "words" are actually a pretty useful tool.
