Do we need more short, quality videos explaining in simple terms why Haskell is cool? Do we need to become better marketers?
Check out this video about Rust.
Do we need something similar for Haskell?

Do we need more of these?

Rust has safety features - less room for bugs. Yet when we talk about safety in Haskell - less room for bugs - we're not talking about the same kind of safety. Rust safety and Haskell safety are different beasts.
In this video, A. Contorer explained how Haskell code has less room for bugs than Java code.
Rust has safety features - less room for bugs. But Rust code still has a lot of room for the type of bugs that Contorer alluded to, for Haskell safety and Rust safety are different beasts.
I haven't fully wrapped my mind around these different kinds of safety. I just sense that they're there. It may even be the case that Haskell safety encompasses Rust safety in some ways, although I'm…
