I would say I have a beginners understanding of Haskell (proof: https://bytes.yingw787.com/posts/2020/01/30/a_review_of_haskell/ https://bytes.yingw787.com/posts/2020/01/30/a_review_of_hask...) and IMHE Haskell is an academic research language for good reason.
For most software, the SDLC is a stream, not tightly scoped like a library or utility. I haven’t seen migration or upgrade plans, docs aren’t really there, links rot extensively, and the strangeness budget is a blank check. It’s not for most developers and it’s not because most developers are “lazy” or “dumb”. I would have loved to use Haskell for my personal projects, but it didn’t satisfy my requirements and I’m sticking to Python.
For starters, in Haskell Stack, there’s no uninstall option. You use shell to rm a package. https://github.com/commercialhaskell/stack/issues/361 https://github.com/commercialhaskell/stack/issues/361
That’s nope territory for most developers.
- aratakareigen 7y agoYep, Stack has an atrocious UX that does nothing but cause progressively increasing amounts of pain. I wish someone would just write the Cargo or NPM of Haskell already.
