Why Python and not Haskell?

This thread asks why more Python developers couldn't instead be using Haskell: https://discourse.haskell.org/t/commercial-haskell-should-go-after-python-julia-not-rust/6964/2

One of the points made in this thread, is that there is a sizeable class of Python programmers for which the trope "Python programmers will be scared of monads!" doesn't apply. I thought I would ask some of the people I know that use Python why they don't use Haskell.

Some notes about the demographic:

• These people all work as academic researchers in Computer Science, formal methods, ranging from very abstract to quite practical.
• Two of them know more about Category Theory and monads than the vast majority of Haskellers.

These are manual instructions on enabling SSH access on your Steam Deck, adding public key authentication, and removing the need for a sudo password for the main user (deck).

This gist assumes the following:

• you have a Steam Deck
• you have a home PC with access to a Linux shell that can ssh, ssh-keygen, and ssh-copy-id
• your Steam Deck and home PC are on the same local network, with standard SSH traffic (tcp/22) allowed over that network from the PC to the Steam Deck

NOTE: @crackelf on reddit mentions that steamOS updates blow away everything other than /home, which may have the following effects:

• removing the systemd config for sshd.service, which would prevent the service from automatically starting on boot
• removing the sudoers.d config, which would reenable passwords for sudo

This is a handy illustration of converting between five of the commonly-used
string types in Haskell (String, ByteString, lazy ByteString, Text and lazy
Text).

Regular Expression Engine Comparison Chart

Many different applications claim to support regular expressions. But what does that even mean?

Well there are lots of different regular expression engines, and they all have different feature sets and different time-space efficiencies.
