Plurrrr

I've been writing JSON-REST APIs in Python for a number of years, and over that time I've found the tooling has greatly improved. To show you how you can benefit I'm going to show you how I've evolved. However, if you want to skip to the tooling I use today take a look at Quart-Schema.

I first started writing Haskell about 15 years ago. My learning curve for the language was haphazard at best. In many cases, I learnt concepts by osmosis, and only later learned the proper terminology and details around them. One of the prime examples of this is pattern matching. Using a case expression in Haskell, or a match expression in Rust, always felt natural. But it took years to realize that patterns appeared in other parts of the languages than just these expressions, and what terms like irrefutable meant.

It's quite possible most Haskellers and Rustaceans will consider this content obvious. But maybe there are a few others like me out there who never had a chance to realize how ubiquitous patterns are in these languages. This post may also be a fun glimpse into either Haskell or Rust if you're only familiar with one of the languages.
