Besides being kinda flippant, I don't see how this aids the discussion in any way.

The meme summaries the point very well: "haskell people will say anything that isn't haskell isn't haskell, and is therefore bad".

It's ok for a meme to be relevant sometimes. Don't have to do a bunch of intellectual eye rolling just because a Simpsons character is making the point.

I agree with the person I responded to - this isn't an honest view of incorrect abstractions in other languages. This is haskellers complaining that other languages are different. The meme I think accurately conveys that, and why not have a meme every now and then?
