    Haskell is a great language that you can learn a lot from. I personally use it to create advanced scripts. Here are a few things that are good about Haskell:

    • It has an ADT (Algebraic Data Type) type system.
    • It's lazily evaluated.
    • It's allows for creating very clean and pure code.

Haskell is a pretty odd programming language, for its interface and syntax aren't "smooth" in the way we are used to. Simply seeing "[ stuff ]" in a program, outside vectors, arrays etc. makes my bones shiver. WIth that "frontend" part done, we may proceed to discuss the base of this language: the fact that it can be very well "chained" is awesome, here talking about compatibility. Haskell functions don't evaluate their parameters (as stated on the official website), meaning that there are many ways you may combine codes. Let me ask though: You're on AlternativeTo reading a REVIEW on Haskell. Really. Go learn a bit about it on the official site, which also allows you to test it out in a shall, giving you instructions etc.

What is Haskell?

Haskell is an advanced purely-functional programming language. An open-source product of more than twenty years of cutting-edge research, it allows rapid development of robust, concise, correct software. With strong support for integration with other languages, built-in concurrency and parallelism, debuggers, profilers and rich libraries.
