Web stuff is pretty popular in Haskell already (I'd say "Web Stuff" is probably the biggest portion of production Haskell users these days), but then again it's also popular with many languages where people use throughput-oriented GC strategies vs low-latency ones. "Web Stuff" is a weirdly large class of applications these days, since it's basically "large scale server applications" that people are really talking about. But it will definitely close a big hole where one existed before -- there are users who had to abandon Haskell implementations of their server-side products because of it.
- hopia 7y agoYes, I'm also using Haskell for web APIs. It's certainly a great fit for that purpose. I only meant that this low latency garbage collector has stronger positive implications in concurrent web stuff than in many other domains.
