Haskell is neat, and is one of those things I'll regularly come back to play with in my spare time. A lot of the ideas behind it have made me a better programmer. Rust I've never touched, though it looks interesting. But:
- In my daily work, the work that pays my bills, I regularly use software built in Rust, eg ripgrep.
- About the only time I ever cross paths with Haskell is in those times when I'm going out of my way to do so as part of my tech hobbying.
I think that's an important difference
- pja 5y agoThere are one or two Haskell applications you might touch in real world use without realising that they’re written in Haskell. Pandoc is the obvious one.
- Zababa 5y agoShellcheck is the other one. I'm not aware of any others.
- hnzix 5y agoIn cryptoland, Cardano is built on Haskell. This does create a barrier to entry compared to say a Javascript-esque language.
- throwaway81523 5y agoI use Gitit sometimes. Also don't forget Perl 6 has some origins in Haskell. I.e., Pugs influenced the final language quite a bit though Pugs itself is no longer in use.
