\section*{Quotes}
\begin{itemize}
\item \emph{Erik Engbrecht} The key to language success is making it powerful enough for a couple cowboys to do the work of an entire team in a shorter period of time. Selling fast and cheap is easy. If you have enough fast and cheap, the business people won't care if you are making it out of bubble-gum and duct-tape, because you are giving them what they want.
\item \emph{pozorvlak} I'm going to make what should be an uncontroversial statement: if you don't understand and use monads, you are at best a quarter of a Haskell programmer. A corollary of this is that, since using monad transformers is the only (or at least the approved) way to use two or more monads together, if you don't understand and use monad transformers you are at best half a Haskell programmer.
\item \emph{mrevelle} As Lisp to lists and Smalltalk to objects: Haskell to computation
\item \emph{Paul} I would use Haskell to build a product or service, and I mean that in the sense that I can see how to train a team and build processes (prototyping, implementation, quality, deployment, support) around Haskell.
\item \emph{Yegge} Haskell, OCaml and their ilk are part of a 45-year-old static-typing movement within academia to try to force people to model everything.
