Happy birthday Simon and thank you for all your work!
I forgot to add to my original post: if you feel like replying, do consider giving your own answer to the question “what do I love about the Haskell community, or about Haskell?”
Haskell lets me express my thoughts directly without needing to encode them into a system where basic things like “either-X-or-Y” don’t exist. The garbage collector does a lot of menial work for me. Functions compose unlike in strict languages. The language of types is so expressive that it’s extremely rare that I want to do something but fail to.
