The question of course is how true is this for the general engineering community?
Reminds me in some ways of survivor bias: those that stick successfully with Haskell tend to see the shortcomings perhaps as virtues.
- monoideism 7y agoI don’t think Haskell will ever be a language used by the general software development community. For the record, my primary languages now is OCaml (and to a much lesser extent, functional Scala). But I like reading Haskell code. There are a lot of good ideas there (and no, my Scala/OCaml isn’t loaded down with custom sigils).
- crimsonalucard 7y agoI think it's true in general. Point free style is just different from other programming styles it's not particularly unreadable. Haskell definitely has issues, but I agree with the parent on his opinion on point free style.
