Good company

Just saw something on Hacker News pointing to a tweet from John Carmack:

"I want to do a moderate sized Haskell project, and not fall to bad habits. Is there a good forum for getting code review/criticism/coaching?"

From a later tweet from Mr. Carmack: "The Haskell code I started on is a port of the original Wolf 3D...."

I'm sure I'm not at his level, but it's reassuring to be in good company... as I feel I am in my opinion of C++.

UPDATE: here's an HN link. This comment is particularly interesting; I'll have to keep an eye open for new ghc releases.
