My problem seems to be that despite desperately wanting to use Haskell for some decent sized project, it never seems to work out as my best option. Right now I'm interested in writing a metro styled app for win8, and even for the server side portions I feel like I'm better off just using CouchDB instead of any Haskell solution that I've seen so far. Before that it was yet-another-web-based-UI-library so my choices were pretty much coffeescript or javascript. Perhaps it's because I like to have fun with UI, but so far anything I'd like to actually spend time on -- Haskell just doesn't seem like the right tool for. My best use of it so far was solving project euler problems, and considering how much I liked it, it feels like a shame that I have nothing better to use it on.
- qx24b 15y agoThat seems to be exactly what haskell is suited for solving, math problems. Which is great and wonderful when you are doing math related problems or things that are heavy in math but when you try and go outside those bounds that is when haskell becomes much much harder to write and work with. But alas that is both what makes haskell nice and hard to work with.
