In what way do you think Haskell is bad for web use? I can't think of any runtime performance metric in which it doesn't crush Ruby or Python, and those are pretty popular for web apps.
- hopia 7y agoPoor phrasing on my part. Certainly not bad in any respect for web stuff. I merely meant that this is a welcome upgrade that specifically benefits web applications, even if it carries a minor computational performance penalty.
- chowells 7y agoAh, I see what you mean. It's a domain in which you're happy to give up a couple percent points of throughput to bring down the 99% latency, which that option will do. Not necessary, but it will be nice.
- exdsq 7y agoSure but does it have web support like Django or Rails? There’s more to it than performance when it comes to web dev!
- wtetzner 7y agoBut a low-latency GC won't solve that problem.
- hopia 7y agoWeb support...?
- aratakareigen 7y agoHe means an ecosystem where 99% of the work needed to build yet another CRUD app is done for you.
- exdsq 7y agoI mean the web eco-system that allows you to develop web applications quickly.
- Ericson2314 7y agoYes it certainly does https://github.com/obsidiansystems/obelisk https://github.com/obsidiansystems/obelisk [Disclaimer, I work at the company behind this.]
- exdsq 7y agoThat looks pretty cool, I’ll try it this weekend!
