Introduction to Haskell video -- a broad overview of why people like Haskell

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? This video with A. Contorer is the closest I've been able to find - and remains to this day my go-to video to introduce people to 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…

…I was looking to refresh the list of motivating materials that should convince the reader that it is worth learning Haskell, but I had a bit of trouble finding relatively new materials. Therefore, I would appreciate any suggestions!

In my opinion the founder of fpcomplete is really good at selling Haskell to management people: [video [video

…ng of programming and forever enrich it with new concepts. That's also why it's hard to give a satisfying answer to this question, when the question comes from someone who doesn't yet know Haskell, while someone who already knows it doesn't need an answer anymore.

Here's a short video about what's so great about Haskell and why people like it so much.

I'm confused, wouldn't replacing Haskell with C code totally contradict your recently expressed "destroy imperative programming, stop all software bugs" philosophy? After all, isn't this what your sales pitch about Haskell for the benefits of using Haskell over alternatives is based on as well? One of the examples contrasted imperative code final int LIMIT = 50; int[] a = new intLIMIT; int[] b = new intLIMIT - 5; for (int i = 0; i < LIMIT; i++) {ai = (i+1) * 2; if (i >= 5) bi - 5 = ai;} to functional code let a = 2,4..100 let b = drop 5 a and literally claimed this would leave "no room for bugs".
