Unfortunately I have to agree. Haskell is a beautiful research language, but not something I want to use for real production work either. Scala is more pragmatic and, IMO, useful. If a workable Scala emerges on LLVM I'll certainly give it a shot.
I actually like OCaml better than Haskell or Scala but sadly it seems to be losing momentum.

- wbhart 15y agoI just couldn't get past having different operators for floating point and integer arithmetic. So O'Caml never passed go, for me. Imagine a mathematical system in O'Caml with polynomials, matrices and many other mathematical objects that you want to multiply. It'd be a zoo. At least Scala allows operator overloading!
- cageface 15y agoThat is pretty ugly. Really as much as I like the current generation of FP languages I think we still have a ways to go before we have a serious contender for a mainstream language.
