What kind of production systems are a good fit with Haskell? I've wanted to learn Haskell but keep getting distracted by other shiny things that are more directly applicable to my job.

- marcosdumay 6y agoHaskell won't give you high interactivity (on the milliseconds of response time), or C-like performance. It will make it hard to control low level details of your memory and execution path. It will also not bring a lot of gain if you only have homogeneous data (like in machine learning). If you have a problem where intermediate performance (on the level of Java and .Net, better than Python or JS) is ok and people won't notice 100ms extra here and there, Haskell is viable. If it's not focused on low level IO, and deals with complicated stuff, odds are it's your best option right now.
