One thought however is that Haskell is a lot less well known then python, so if you want a large stable of bots, you may wind up needing to give some coding help to aspiring entrants
I agree. I chose Haskell because I was intrigued by how easy it was to restrict what bots are able to do, using only Haskell’s type system. I would actually love it if a large number of non-Haskellers participated—I enjoy coding Haskell, and I don’t mind putting aside some time to help if the result is a larger, more interesting tournament.
Thanks for running this!
