The tragedy of C++ is that you need to learn Haskell to write good C++, yet very few people who have learned Haskell are willing to write C++.

@david_chisnall Does it work the other way around?
@david_chisnall As a former C++ tutor, I know very few people who have learned C++ that are willing to write C++.
@david_chisnall Ah I remember being a student, going all in on metaprogramming, taking a step back and learning haskell just to be better at it. Coming back to TPMP sucked hard haha.
Good ol' days.
@david_chisnall Oh, that explains why they are trying to merge as much Haskell into C++ with every new standard 😅
