I don't understand how being written in Haskell can, itself, work well or poorly or not work from the point of view of a user.
Did you mean "despite being written in Haskell", or are there usability concerns that are caused by it being written in Haskell? (... or is there some other interpretation I'm not seeing?)
- sega_sai 6y agoI wanted to implement a feature, like seing the most recent changes time, or fix a bug https://github.com/jgm/gitit/pull/388 https://github.com/jgm/gitit/pull/388 and to implement those I had to learn haskell. That wasn't easy... If the software were written in python/ruby/c/c++/php whatever it'd take me an order of magnitude less effort and time to fix/contribute.
- dllthomas 6y agoThat makes sense. Thank you for the clarity :)
