- AnimalMuppet 10y agoThat's not a fair comparison, though. A fair comparison might be Haskell's type system compared to Idris, or a small dependent typed language against a small type inference language.
- DanWaterworth 10y agoThe question was, "how's that?". My answer was, it's possible for a small dependently typed language to be simpler than Haskell. I'd already made the assertion that Idris was less complicated than Haskell.
