Quotes of the Week

   * kmc: johnw: I'm rejoining this channel after months away just to
     tell you how incredibly wrong you are that monads are the "core
     concept" of Haskell

   * dmwit: semigroups are monoids with an identity crisis

   * olsner: I think doing eta something means to make it more or less
     pointless. But I don't recall which eta does what

   * mm_freak: Oleg knows what's at the end of foldr f z [1..].

   * copumpkin: it's like grasping desperately for the rope of induction
     as you fall down the bottomless pit of coinduction
