Interesting article. I think it's worth explicitly calling out that rather than proclaiming the death of Haskell, this article is talking about the children of Haskell and what they are capable of doing from a clean slate and with a clear goal.
IMO Haskell remains as the go-to language for teaching functional programming and for experimenting with PL concepts. Long may it remain.
- Athas 6y agoI also read it as there simply being some domains where Haskell is not well suited. I like using Haskell for writing compilers, but I would probably not like to use it for numerics code. While I could replace Haskell with Idris, I'm still a bit lukewarm on the cost-benefit of heavy use of dependent types for many programs (although Idris has other nice advantages unrelated to the type system).
