I have a theory that Haskell's main applications are in teaching and academic research - both concerning theoretical computer science. It's not a practical engineering language.
- agentultra 3y agoI have evidence to the contrary. I have a job writing Haskell for a living doing boring, normal software. I also started a stream where I write libraries and games and build stuff in Haskell purely to disprove this theory. It's been going well: we've written a logical replication client library for Postgres, built an asteroids clone, etc. It is a very practical language.
