Haskell was the first thing that came to mind. I can show with one hand, by joining my pointer-finger and thumb, the number of people I know that use it.
It looks lovely, and it's something I'd very much like to learn some day but I can't for the life of me think of what I would use it for. Are there any killer apps out there for it?
At least with lisp, I can configure emacs ...
- yakubin 8y agoPandoc and Xmonad are written in Haskell.
- icebraining 8y agoAlso git-annex!
- rusk 8y agoInteresting but again, short of contributing to these projects what am I going to do with Haskell?
- the_af 8y agoHaskell is used in the industry, see: https://wiki.haskell.org/Haskell_in_industry https://wiki.haskell.org/Haskell_in_industry You could start your own project. You could contribute to an existing project. You could evangelize Haskell at your job, if possible. All of these are hard, of course. It'll be easier to use a more mainstream language. But if Haskell strikes your fancy, maybe it's worth the effort?
- Volt 8y agoWrite software, probably.
- rusk 8y agoWell ... duh.
- the_af 8y agoWell, it's a general use language. Also, there's purescript [1], a Haskell-to-javascript for the browser. [1] http://www.purescript.org/ http://www.purescript.org/
