Thanks for the link, Dustin. I've had a very similar experience with Haskell. It was fun to learn in the beginning, but I've since abandoned it in favor of other things.

lots of intelligent debate in the comments about the "impedance

because a lot of the blogs and papers are somewhat evangelistic, and
here we have opinions from developers who were initially attracted to
haskell like us, but the attraction faded with time.
