I wish there was a haskell-without-the-warts language with the same culture as Elixir - developer friendliness, practicality etc.

As it stands I can't help but feel discouraged when learning Haskell. Haskell feels like a research tool for furthering other programming languages...

I'm still going to learn Haskell, promised myself I would! But I do look to the Elixir folk with a bit of jealousy..
