My impression is that Haskell's laziness and focus on purity though make it rather a pain to work with, whereas OCaml is a lot more pragmatic like Rust.

- tempodox 4y agoThat's why OCaml won over Haskell and Standard ML for me. The authors are not afraid to “get their hands dirty” with procedural constructs or even OOP for the cases where those things are useful.
- wyager 4y agoThis impression does not match reality. It's great to work with. I'd certainly take it over ocaml (having spent probably thousands of hours on both).
- pdimitar 4y agoCan you give a few examples about why did you pick Haskell over OCaml, please? And let's skip "elegance" and other pie-in-the-sky magic. Let's talk productivity in commercial projects. Or making scripts for your own use (if you're not happy with bash/zsh/fish... which I'm not).
