Haskell Programmer Refuses Medicine

Text on the meme

WHY DID THE HASKELL PROGRAMMER REFUSE THE HEADACHE MEDICINE? I DON'T KNOW, WHY? BECAUSE IT HAS SIDE EFFECTS

What it means

A group of serious-looking men surround and restrain another man in a three-panel scene. The joke is a functional-programming pun: Haskell programmers avoid headache medicine because it has “side effects,” a technical term for effects beyond a function’s return value. This meme is used as a reaction to overly technical programming humor or a painfully nerdy joke.
