I've got a few network services working with Idris and they run okay. The compilation time grows so quickly you can't use it for very large projects though.
Honestly, Haskell dependent-typing is SO MUCH MORE COMPLEX than Idris's "well what if I just write a function that takes a type?" approach, it's not even funny. Even the author of singleton says it's a rough landscape.
Haskell's going to get much closer with QuantifiedConstraints in ghc 8.6, in that it'll simplify a lot of this work, but it's still years out from the simplicity and library unification.
- matt-noonan 8y agoCan you elaborate on the DT / QuantifiedConstraints connection a bit? I haven't thought enough yet about QuantifiedConstraints to see the everyday benefits, but I'm getting contact-excited by everybody else's anticipation of it. I'd love to get some concrete benefits to hold in mind.
