The context was Haskell versus OCaml, so yeah — Haskell is the more academic, pure math. Ocaml (in this context) is the more approximate, but more practical option for larger projects. In practice people use things like C and Python because spherical cows are close enough.
- youerbt 5y agoOk, you are another person in this chain who decided to just drop "more practical" and call it a day. Why bother. It is especially funny in the thread about OCaml getting soon (2022 maybe) multicore support. Something this less practical ivory tower Haskell had before it was even cool.
- ernst_klim 5y agoPython still has GIL and it's definitely more practical and widely adopted.
