LISP is right brained; Haskell left brained

LISP requires too much creativity. You have to develop your own constructs to do anything. Whereas most languages like Python and C++ have idiomatic ways of doing things, with LISP the whole idea is to create your own DSL for every little task. LISP is "more than one way to skin the cat" taken to the extreme.

Haskell is more like rigid and Vulcan-like. Programs are proofs. You don't need to implement your own DSL and/or "universe" to solve a problem. Macros are superfluous. Haskell is the opposite extreme of LISP in that the left brain1 dominates.

1 The left/right brain dichotomy might be outdated, but I'm just referring to the general idea of creativity versus raw analytic problem solving.

Disgusting old hag, not a cute doll. You pull this shit again and I'm calling the cops and telling them you're selling CP.
