For every bad story there are two good ones. Recently, a local
hospital suffered many malpractice suits due to faulty software in
their X-Ray machine. So, they decided to rewrite the code in Haskell
for more reliability.
Malpractice suits have now dropped to zero. The reason is that they
haven't taken any new X-Rays ("we're still compiling the standard
prelude").

this time a few years ago against chucking functional programming and
computer science and becoming a hermit.
