’"‘”’" means "I edited this text on both my phone and my laptop before sending it"

Randall knows his Python; Haskell not so much.

Can you explain what the comic has to do with Haskell? I guess he could have added something like idiom brackets, but that’s very niche.

It’s humour that would appeal to nerdy programmer types (or at least to this nerdy programmer type). Does it have to be Haskell specifically?

Haskell uses all of () ( , ) [] [ , ] [ | , | , ] {} { , } { ; } and still we want more: {- -} {-# #-} Template Haskell splices, $ decorating various constructions, escape sequences within strings, … The not-getting-along Python functions could almost be valid Haskell.

[() .. ()] and [() ..] both work fine.
