Elm, a nice surprise. I don't have experience with writing compilers, so I can't suggest anything. I just know that Haskell is promoted as a language suitable

  Yes, but I wasn't super happy with it. Rust was a much better option IMO. I only chose Elm because I was experimenting with some visual debugging stuff, and boy, it's really a joyful experience. The problem with Elm is that it's impossible to write a serious compiler in it hahaha

    Do you remember what made the Haskell experience unpleasant?
    • surprisetalk 3y ago
      I can imagine enjoying Haskell in a team setting with existing patterns, but I think its flexibility gives my mind decision fatigue when starting from-scratch.

        Do you mean the language in general or the tooling around compilers?
