I do think it's interesting how I've been hearing about how much people love Haskell and how elegant it is since middle school. Now I'm 10 years out of university and it's still notable when something is actually written in Haskell. That's got to tell you something about the language, the tooling, the docs, the community, or maybe some combination of those things.
- alpinisme 2y agoProbably a combination of those things but also about the staying power or perception and stereotype from the broader programming community. (I’m not saying that Haskell is super pragmatic and industry-ready, only that the perception of it often lags behind its real usefulness — admittedly in part because other languages work well enough so why bother to engage with one that requires thinking differently?)
