[Haskell-beginners] Haskell described as a "rigid" language

[edgar klerks]

Probably dumb question, but was it the difference between rigid and
inflexible in this context (I am not native english speaker)?

Google define gives me this:

Rigid means:

   - incapable of compromise or flexibility
   - inflexible: incapable of adapting or changing to meet circumstances; "a
   rigid disciplinarian"; "an inflexible law"; "an unbending will to dominate"
