Yes

No

Maybe.

Can you repeat the question?

It's a good language to get yourself comfortable with functional programming and advanced type systems before you move on to more practical languages like Rust.

Learning Haskell will make you a better programmer even if you don't actually use it very much. Like Lisp.

It's one of the more advanced typed functional languages. They're the future of programming but unfortunately Haskell is a bit outdated (no dependent types).

fix f = f (fix f)

beautiful

What type is it?

(a -> a) -> a

shouldn't have done this shit in Java

can't you just do
private static Function fix(Function f)
{
return a -> f.apply(fix(f)).apply(a);
}

what the hell is that? a java framework for emulating lazy functional programming?

Is purple/violet haskell's official color?

I need the least fixed point

Java 8 has added lambda expressions and functional interfaces

no it's an entire computer language.

Yes

I used it to write a program for organizing my porn. I like it.

Use it to learn monads and free applicatives. Then go and use that knowledge in a better more practical language
