I've worked on a Haskell project supposedly like that. Took me a couple weeks of not complaining to improve it significantly. The trick was not closing my eyes at the sight of ugly bad code.
- taeric 5y agoMy problem with this, is you can replace "Haskell" with any other language in that sentence, and it still works.
- whateveracct 5y agoWhy's that a problem? It is true if any language. But people act like Haskell can create a mess that is beyond what other languages can create. To the point where it isn't true that you can just..fix it by not complaining.
- taeric 5y agoHmmm. I can see your point that folks act like it can create a mess beyond other languages. I agree that that is not accurate. I suspect it is more a reaction to the seeming claim that it is immune to that. For my part, my claim was meant to be that it needs an advocate. That is all. I do not know why they other languages have in built advocacy across the board. Python, in particular, is seeing a ton of good will in ways I just don't understand.
