I've always felt of Haskell that it's a way for very smart people to never get anything done.
I want to like Haskell, I really do, but it's like learning Latin - you'll feel very smart except no one can talk with you except other people that correct your grammar.
Bleh.
- ken 8y ago> no one can talk with you except other people that correct your grammar Also, a compiler -- which is a pretty huge difference.
- Qwertie 8y agoPart of the reason I stopped using haskell is because of how generalized everything is. I want to get something basic done and you are expected to read a whole book some maths topic to understand how do something basic. Another language would have an example on how to do that thing 99% of users are trying to do but in haskell land they want you to understand the 1000 different ways the library can be used and piece that together to work out what you want.
- whateveracct 8y agoI write Haskell professionally and I get plenty done :)
