Second round of #288, related to #373

Reasons to touch the videos:

  1. One video was just removed and we had a free spot.
  2. When I look at the current list from the lens of Hobbyist vs Academic vs Industry, most (if not all) are leaning towards the "Academic" audience.

I wanted to add something for Hobbyist and "more mainstream" audience, I have two candidates: Haskell in 100 Seconds and [Making Music with Haskell From Scratch]. I think either could bring some balance to the rest of the videos (I could also see an argument that this makes haskell.org look "less serious")

But I couldn't choose one and also think that "Monad" video doesn't even have Haskell in the title, so I'd suggest swapping it.


I also really like these two:

but there are only 6 spots unless someone makes another carousel or something.

I think the best thing would be to pick one and go with it. Then once the video list looks more balanced again we can think about making a carousel (or some other approach). My preference would be "from Java to Haskell" but the other is fine by me too.

This is great!

I agree with Tom; I think any video choice works for now and I also like the idea of featuring From Java to Haskell.

Noting this more as a general idea for later, not a change request for this PR: I wonder if it would make sense to handle videos the same way we handled testimonials- a carousel populated from YAML with the order shuffled at load time.

@tomjaguarpaw could you please clarify? Are you suggesting "From Java to Haskell" instead of the current empty spot, and bringing back the monad video? Or are you ok with removing the monad video and prefer "From Java to Haskell" to one of the suggestions?
