Haskell must be getting popular, if so many projects are being started in it that the proportion of them that fail are "a growing number" :)
That said, anyone know of a writeup / "post-mortem" of such a failure?
- SiempreViernes 7y agoThe statement seems to be about the absolute number of failures, not a proportion out a total. So I guess their comment is simply that the number of failures have increased with time...
- lostcolony 7y agoSo if the total number of Haskell projects is not also going up, then we must conjecture that people are getting worse and worse at Haskell. Occam's razor seems to apply here; it seems more likely that more people are trying Haskell for real world projects, if the statement that failures are increasing is true.
- SiempreViernes 7y agoWell, presumable some people actually finish their old haskell projects and then start new ones, so it's not necessary that the total number of users is growing. The old users are also starting new projects that could fail.
