The gloves come off as we discuss the other contenders in the functional programming space. You know Haskell, but what about Scala, Idris, Dhall, Agda, Nix, Unison, etc. When do you reach for these tools, or do you have a space where nothing seems to fit?

What are the features you find indispensable to get your work done, and how do you achieve them in your languages of choice (or languages that are imposed on you). Type systems, laziness, totality, metaprogramming – everything is up for debate. Or are there features you wish you had, but nothing seems to offer? Maybe we can help you find them somewhere.

Come prepared to defend your idols and maybe walk away with a new favorite to try to indoctrinate your peers with.

(If you want to take a stand, prepare a few gists (or other URLs) with some code that you might like to share with the group, so we can see some concrete examples.)
