💡 Why Learn Haskell?
- 🧬 Functional Paradigm: Shift how you think about programming—pure functions, immutability, and expressions over statements.
- 🛡️ Type Safety: Strong static type system helps catch bugs at compile-time.
- ✨ Concise and Expressive: Write powerful abstractions with minimal code.
- 💤 Lazy Evaluation: Evaluate only what’s needed—powerful for both performance and logic.
- 🧪 Academic & Industrial Use: From compilers and research to finance and web development.
