- notthemessiah 11y ago"Bed of roses" seems like a weird idiom because roses have thorns.
- raphaelss 11y agoTrue. I did not think about it this way and just went with a common expression. Feel free to read it as "Haskell isn't all sunshine and rainbows." To be clear (before you say that "sunshine and rainbows" seems like a weird idiom because sunshine causes cancer), I meant that I think Haskell also has disadvantages.
- notthemessiah 11y agoMakes more sense when you look into the etymology. https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/bed#Etymology https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/bed#Etymology from Old English bedd (“bed, couch, resting-place; garden-bed, plot”)
