Why I Hate Haskell and Category Theory

Why I Hate Haskell and Category Theory

• It is the haskell fad, made me hate both haskell and category theory.
• the fad started about 2012 and lasted about 5 years.
• Typically these are ignorant idiotic fanatical younglings driveling monad like they just discovered trig.

• most of them, are the typical industrial coder dolts that wallow in java or cpp.

• in 90s, haskell and category theory was my idol.

• ocaml of ML, is much better, precede haskell by 2 decades, and now fsharp even better.
• Faster, more robust, widely used in industry, and not filled with trendsters.

• haskell has the problem of academic masturbation.
• kinda like scheme lisp, going nowhere anytime in 3 decades.

• Category theory, as i learned more and more over the past decades, is no good.
• Type theory, is far better, and homotopy type theory.

• Category Theory, seems to attract a type of fringes of society.

• namely, you got a bunch of fanatic zoomers of it since 2010, yet, they dunno anything about math, don't even know say calculus or differential equations, but they think they know high math.

• this is partly why, whenever you read on category theory, they seem to be written with fluid analogy wishywashy style, does not contain one iota of hard math definition or hard science understanding.
