My point is: I tried several times to write something in Haskell, I really want to like the language. But each time I felt too stupid for it, it just feels like too much work. In Elm I got a working app in a day and enjoyed the experience. Isn’t there a lesson for the Haskell community other than “Elm does polymorphism wrong, meh”?
- eklavya 10y agoMaybe both are catering to different programmers?
- 8fGTBjZxBcHq 10y agoIs Haskell catering to programmers who don't want to be able to get a simple app up in a day? Who are these programmers who fight through the first steps of picking up a language and are thrilled by that.
- eklavya 10y agoMaybe yes, You can not learn Haskell in one day, if that was your point. My point is learning Haskell takes time and it's hard and it is totally understandable if for some people that is not a good investment.
