This is why I gave up on Haskell. Code is still (currently) written by humans. Sure the code was more terse, but I had to expend more time thinking about every tiny piece of that terse code. I've been programming for 36 years. Just as some people think out loud, I think by shaping and reshaping code. Top-down doesn't work for me, although I know there are other developers for whom it does. I like to build bottom-up by fooling around with little pieces. I have no experience with Rust, but fooling around in Haskell just took all the joy out of programming, for me, while adding frustration.
EDIT> I would rather have better CASE tools / an AI pair-programmer than be straitjacketed into a top-down correct-first then code way of working.
- sjcoles 8y agoEven with a top down approach you can end up with insane type level machinations or group/category theory that only the best Haskell developer can decode. Sure it's elegant, but damn near indecipherable.
