As someone who is working on broadening Haskell adoption I'm trying to stop this being true! I'd like programmers of a wide variety of intelligence levels to be able to find a comfortable home in Haskell.
- benreesman 5y agoThis is a similar challenge to e.g. C++. Can it be done with SFINAE? Yeah, probably. Does Servant need pseudo-dependent types and does Wren need lenses? Maybe we could both make and respond to an HTTP request without getting into some pretty heavy shit?
- quickthrower2 5y agoI think there is a tension between the power of the type system which anyone in userland can use, and wanting to make things easy for the everyday programmer. What might help is a complete standard library framework akin to what C# provides out of the box that everyone agrees to use unless there is good reason not to. Also allow imperative syntax.
