What Hacker News says

6 sources
Short version: You need a PhD in type theory to get anywhere. Basically every obscure overly complicated concept that Haskell throws at you (all the while pretending to be the only true FP language out there) can be explained in 5 to 10 lines of Javascript: https://github.com/hemanth/functional-programming-jargon Compare and contrast. - Monad explained in Javascript: https://github.com/hemanth/functional-programming-jargon#mon... - Timeline (sic!) of monad tutorials for Haskell: https://wiki.haskell.org/Monad_tutorials_timeline The worst crime against humanity though is Haskell crap seeping into other languages (such as ramda, for instance: http://ramdajs.com)
