I’ve always loved Haskell as well, although the most I did with it was writing a small language interpreter for a CS class.
It’s amazing how much better major languages could be. They’re slowly getting better - I started out using PHP 5 at work, and the improvements since then (eg PHP 8.4) are HUGE. I’ve used modern C++ extensively as well.
I love Rust more than either.
If you like Ruby, Loco RS is really neat as a(n immature) Ruby on Rails replacement.
- cies 2y agoWhile the improvements can be huge, they can never truly fix a language imho. There's too much code depending on it, and there's the stdlib that contains a lot of the "worst practices". It's easy to love Rust (OCaml, Kotlin, ...) more. > If you like Ruby Nah, only for very small throwaway script. And even for them I prefer Kotlin nowadays (stronger typing, better IDE integration, etc.)
