+# Why Haskell?
+
+Learn something new - state-of-the-art in language design;
+many new concepts (compared to classics e.g. C, Perl, Ruby, PHP; etc.):
+
+- Great for learing a "pure" "state-of-the-art" functional programming (FP) language
+- Great for learning the "state-of-the-art" for a strongly-typed language
+    - Type classes, type families (Typeclassopedia)
+    - Algebraic Data types  (ADT)
+    - Category theory (Yoneda Lemma, Kleisli Fish, etc.)
+    - etc.
+
+- Many new concepts
+    - Programming without Null/Nil - Maybe, Just, Nothing, ()
+    - "Pure" Functions without Side-Effects and I/O Functions with Side-Effects
+    - Monads, Monoids, Applicatives, Functors, Prisms, Lenses, etc.

+# Language Example - Inspired by Haskell  - Idris
+
+## Idris
+
+Why: Faster, Easier -- Dependent Datatypes, Laziness Optional, and More
+
+A standard example of a dependent type is the type of "lists with length",
+conventionally called vectors in the dependent type literature.
+
+Example:
+
+~~~
+data Vect : Nat -> Type -> Type where
+  Nil : Vect Z a
+  (::) : a -> Vect k a -> Vect (S k) a
+
+(++) : Vect n a -> Vect m a -> Vect (n + m) a
+(++) Nil ys = ys
+(++) (x :: xs) ys = x :: xs ++ xs   -- broken
