On an unrelated note, Python folks should check out OP's library funcy [1]: "A collection of fancy functional tools focused on practicality. Inspired by clojure, underscore and my own abstractions."
Thanks for the library Suor!

What can you do in Haskell that you can't do in Python(for example)?
Functional semantics are available in Python, but IMO not that great. List, dict, and generator comprehensions allow you to perform most operations that you would use in a functional first programming language and there are third party libraries like toolz and funcy that implement some of the more advanced operations. The main issue I've found with using Python as a functional language is it doesn't support fluent syntax. With Scala you can do a relatively complex map/filter/reduce operation with syntactic ease list_of_ints.map(x => x*x).filter(x => x%2 ==0).reduce(x,y => x+y) With Python it's just clunky and less readable b/c of support of list comprehension syntax over fluent syntax. sum([x**2 for x in list_of_ints if x % 2 == 0]) A codebase with 5000 lines of the Scala style code will be much readable and maintainable than with the Python style code.

Typeclasses in Python
Today I am going to introduce a new concept for Python developers: typeclasses. It is a concept behind our new dry-python library called classes.
- dry-python/classes: Smart, pythonic, ad-hoc, typed polymorphism for Python. Also known as singledispatch on steroids
- Smart, pythonic, ad-hoc, typed polymorphism for Python
