Whats wrong with Java? I am focusing most of my time on it. Bad decision?
Re:Learn You a Haskell for Great Good on Friday May 10, 2013 @08:59PM (#5689356)
Haskell looks very interesting but I can't help but ask 'why do I need it?'. Currently I am learning Java since I want to get a jr.developer job later on and Ruby for some scripting and personal projects(maybe even Rails later). So Java is used in industry, Ruby is used in web and metasploit/ronin (something that I like to mess with), but what about Haskell? I am genuinely curious what Haskell can offer. I always see it mentioned on Reddit but I have yet to come across any notable project written with it. Could somebody with experience give me some reasons for me to learn it?
Good tutorials but how is this news?

We all have different goals and limited amount of time. I will speak up in the case of injustice if it arises but it's not my duty to fight sexism, end world hunger, fight for peace or adopt Nigerian children.

This isn't really a unique story. Understand that it sucks to be treated like that but the same can be said about women dominant workplaces. Sexism and not being taken seriously can be found everywhere. I've been called "sweetie", "honey" with a demeaning tone on daily basis, I've heard about fucking so and so and drama that goes with it, my opinion was dismissed and I was left out from the "club" more times than I care to remember and females usually got better treatment simply by being a female countless time.

This shouldn't be news, this is just life.

This actually has happened to me before and I dismissed the same reasoning because it was not verifiable. I've convinced myself that it's just selective memory and coincidence. I am really not sure what to make of all this since I stumbled upon your post.
