       I was reading #haskell docs and I thought this line was funny because it really encapsulates most Haskell docs:"Since Void values logically don't exist, this witnesses the logical reasoning tool of "ex falso quodlibet". "

       @symmetrizer Haskell is all I do nowadays. I can't look back. That being said there are some big problems with Haskell, I think.

       @hyperrealgopher IDK, this looks appropriate. The Void type and the likes aren't used in IO cookie-cutter apps. They really do belong to the logic domain.

       @dpwiz I believe you! But I often feel like many Haskell docs I read are a steep read (to me, at least).

       @hyperrealgopher Yeah. There's definitely a breed of bad documentation particular to Haskell (and maybe Scala, although it should be more rare).It's almost like c/c++ "examples" showing off their mastery of cmake idiosyncrasies instead of a task at hand.

       @hyperrealgopher Similarly heady is #Rakulang's use of *Mu* as the root of the entire object system.So, the core of the object system is named after a weird sort of negation I don't fully understand. It's very Zen.https://docs.raku.org/type/Mu
