		ParetoOptimal on Sept 13, 2024 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Why Haskell? Point-free and liberal use of operators are and have long been minority viewpoints in Haskell. I say this as someone who prefers symbols, point free, and highly appreciates "notation as a tool of thought".

For a minority viewpoint, it seems fairly pervasive in the library ecosystem at least to me. Then again, I hate most usage of point-free and I think the correct amount of custom operator is exactly zero so I might be particularly sensitive to it.
