- jkot 10y agoLanguages today are not just about command line compiler. Compiler today must interact with tools such as IDE. If you keep some basic rules, it is reasonably simple to write compiler which can interact with Intellij Idea and provide incremental compilation, live edit hints, error messages. In Haskel you dont have any of that.
