A comment on Poll: Haskell or Go?.

Haskel is beautiful language, but I voted Go because side effects in Haskel are pain and if you want language to the server I suppose it is because of doing side effects (like working with db or files, changing memory, serving webpages etc).

Plus Go has easy conurrency via message passing, which is nice to have these days.

Indeed. I voted Go because learning it made writing concurrent software FUN! (As it should be)

Haskell has easy message passing as well. You can plop "forkIO" in front of any IO operation to make it concurrent
