Why Learn Haskell? (2018)
Asking a "why?" question means we want to be told a reason. But would we accept any reason? It seems not, for if any answer suffices, then the answer is irrelevant, so why bother asking?

Type-safe GraphQL with OCaml

What about K?
k is a family of concise, fast vector-oriented languages designed by Arthur Whitney . Calling k a “family” is deliberate; there is no single definitive k, but instead a sequence of slightly incompatible versions.

The Art of Lisp and Writing (2003)
Lisp is the language of loveliness. With it a great programmer can make a beautiful, operating thing, a thing organically created and formed through the interaction of a programmer/artist and a medium of expression that happens to execute on a computer.
