Haskellers When Someone Boasts About Typescript's Fake Type System

TypeScript devs be out here celebrating their "type safety" while Haskell programmers are sitting in the corner with their Hindley-Milner type inference, algebraic data types, and monads, looking like they just witnessed someone claim they invented the wheel after putting training wheels on a bicycle.

TypeScript's type system is basically JavaScript wearing a safety vest—it's all erased at runtime anyway. Meanwhile, Haskell's type system is so strict it won't even let your code compile if you think about doing something wrong. It's the difference between a bouncer checking IDs at the door versus a bouncer who also runs a background check, verifies your credit score, and makes sure you're emotionally ready for the club.

The smug superiority radiating from that expression? That's the face of someone who knows what IO () means and why any is basically a war crime.
