> You don't go lisping to make your CV look pretty.

Look, I didn't write that. This is your affirmation. As I wrote, and I repeat, I think that being specialized to procedural/object languages, for some kind of problems that could be a limit. So I'm looking for different paradigms to change the way I approach problems. Now I have a limited time, how I should spend it ? Now, because I'm a professional programmer I would like something I can use and improve my CV. So what?

Again, its paradigm is a stereotype of other language I know.

What's your problem ? Are you the author of the article ? Look, I think that the point of that article is "study Haskell, trust me", so it isn't an help for newcomers. I only express my opinion. The title is "Why Haskell is important" and I think it fails to explain the more important point that is "why". So, why ? Moreover, why Haskell and not F# or Erlang, for example ?
