I wrote my bachelor's thesis in Haskell and have never touched it again.

A lot of people feel that way. If I need to generate a set of numbers or a certain string, though, it's pretty easy to punch out a one-liner in GHCi, and that's usually my use case.

When did baccalaureate theses become a thing?

I don't know if you're trying to be funny or your autocorrect is, but in Germany, when they switched from diploma to the bachelor/master system, both bachelor and master come with a theses. Many people leave with a bachelor, especially in computer science, so that might be why. Don't know about other countries

Ah, I see. They aren't standard at US Universities, though I did have to complete capstone projects for each of my BS degrees.
