Then I discovered I’d been using them in Rust all along without knowing. 500px Introduction About a decade ago, I tried to learn Haskell. I was mesmerized by its elegance — the way types guided you toward correct programs, how pure functions composed so naturally, the terseness that still remained readable. I worked through A Gentle Introduction to Haskell, and everything m...")
