As someone who respects functional programming (because it removes geniuses from competing in my space) here's a nice video [VIDEO] What is the beautiful monospace font in the pdf here [LINK] ?

I recommend not watching this and searching for the FP / Haskell version of this. It is really funny and much more clever imo Edit: [VIDEO]
