I dabbled in some Haskell a few years ago but quit trying when I got to the hard parts like monads and functors and stuff. All those mathematical concepts were a little too abstract for me.

But what I did bring with me from the experience changed my way of programming forever. Especially function composition and tacit (point-free) style programming. It makes writing code so much faster and simpler and it's easier to read and maintain.

You can utilize some functional programming concepts without being too hardcore with it and get the best of both worlds in the process. ๐Ÿ‘
