I've never experienced cabal hell since stack came around.

Writing code. Failing. Trying again and again. Slowly, at some point, it starts clicking, and before you know it, you're much more productive than you used to be in Ruby or whatever else, and then you're cursed by lambda.

I wrote this as an exploratory bit of Haskell before I knew monad transformers : http://www.parsonsmatt.org/2015/05/02/scotty_and_persistent....

Three months after that, I had a fulltime Haskell internship, and a year after that, I'm working full time doing Haskell.
