I am in urgent job search mode, so I'm gonna throw this out here and see if anything comes of it.
I am a #Canadian, fluent in both #English and #French. I have experience with several programming languages. My strongest proficiency is with #Haskell and #C. I also have a reasonable grasp of #HTML, #JavaScript, #SQL, #Python, #Lua, #Linux system administration, #bash scripting, #Perl, #AWK, some #Lisp (common, scheme, and emacs), and probably several others I've forgotten to mention.
I am not necessarily looking for something in tech. I just need something stable. I have done everything from software development, to customer support, to factory work, though my current circumstances make in-person work more difficult than remote work. I have been regarded as a hard worker in every job I have ever held.

So, I've been taking another run at learning #CommonLisp. The last time I tried, I simply could not wrap my brain around macros. I'm reading the same book again, but this time am a more experienced programmer, and it all just clicked in my head.
I might actually end up enjoying #Lisp after all. I don't know if it'll dethrone #Haskell, but I'm starting to get why people like it.

Don't start with macros. It doesn't make sense to until you really get the "vibes" of how it all goes together.
I've seen so much common lisp code out there that doesn't ever touch macros. They are super powerful, but you don't need them until you do.
Having Haskell down though, you are probably most of the way there.
@Karsten Johansson Tell that to the author of Practical Common Lisp.
That said, I get it now. It's so stupidly simple when it finally makes sense.
Also, yeah, learning Haskell in the interim helped a lot.
I like the book enough that I bought a physical copy of it.
Siebel (the author) said, back when Twitter was Twitter and everyone liked it just fine, that he was considering updating and adding a few chapters. afaik he hasn't, but it brought my hopes up quite a bit. 
If you want truly complicated, check out the book Let Over Lambda. It is mind blowing, but you'll come away from it with a whole new level of understanding.

Does #Haskell's microlens-platform really not have a function of type Int -> Lens' [a] a?
That seems an odd omission.
Has anyone successfully cross-compiled a #Haskell project to .exe from a *NIX system (preferably Debian)? I've casually looked into it in the past, but never given it a serious try.

I'm of the understanding that it can perhaps be done with Haskell.nix?
Edit: typo

I hate it when I make an official release of a program with an ugly snippet of code that I can't figure out how to write more cleanly, only to come up with a solution 10 minutes after pushing the release. I just make the change in the dev branch so it gets incorporated into the next version.
In my defense, the thing I was overlooking was that #Haskell's Maybe type is an instance of Foldable. It's not the kind of data type that exactly screams Foldable, is it?
Side note: I should use Hoogle's search by type signature feature more frequently. I needed a function that looked like this: Monad m => (a -> m ()) -> Maybe a -> m (), which is literally just mapM_.

So, I created a #Haskell #TUI program using brick. I wanted to have it support cursor keys, as well as vim and Emacs-style cursor movement, but for whatever reason I can't get it to register C-n and C-p keypresses. C-f and C-b worked fine though.
Anyone have any ideas as to why this might be?

data Foo = Bar { val :: Int } | Baz { val :: Int }is valid #Haskell. I wouldn't have thought you could define
val twice like that.
I'm an idiot.
I was trying to install #Haskell on a machine and thought the installer was taking a really long time. In my defense, the last line of text was:
Installation may take a while.It sat at this stage for over an hour while I did other stuff, because I hadn't bothered to read the previous line:
Press ENTER to proceed or ctrl-c to abort.

It's actually annoying in ghci because the warning gets repeated every time you define something.
--pedantic flag though (which turns warnings into errors).
