Also with a very specific meaning that often gets lost. It was specifically about Haskell before there was an IO type. Without I/O operations, any language is "useless".
(Further context: in the discussion Haskell is described as starting out useless and carefully approaching useful. Other languages start with the footguns and then retrofit useful limitations from the other end!)
- 7thaccount 3y agoI thought there was an interview where he said that many years after Haskell had I/O. I believe you though as I haven't been enamored with Haskell for a long time. It's a cool language, but just doesn't click with me. I can see why it does for others though.
