How I Found My Niche Writing in Haskell

I found my niche by writing some stuff in Haskell and then translating into templates. So somehow Haskell seemed nicer to me than ML. But that's still a step, right? I mean, like, why not stick with ML? Like, did you specifically look for other functional programming languages or was somebody mentioning Haskell to you or or how did that happen? You wrote blog posts along the lines. Look, here is the simple one line Haskell program, which I can translate into 100 lines of templates.
