I'm talking great libraries in great languages. Like how the kmettverse revolutionized writing Haskell. Libraries that make you completely reconsider what it is you're trying to do.
Most people use shit libraries in shit languages. NPM slopfests have no bearing on what I'm talking about.
- jesse__ 10mo ago> great languages like [...] Haskell We have very different opinions on what makes a great language
- Ericson2314 10mo agoThen I'm surprised you agreed with any of what I wrote!
- jesse__ 10mo agoI mean, I agree with the notion that a great type system is part of a great language, but the type system is only a small part of the overall whole. Haskell has a great type system, but it fails miserably at many trivial tasks I care about : 1) sum 1 million integers == stackoverflow (big lul) 2) massive memory cliffs for using the wrong type [1], which is not uncommon 3) poor metaprogramming facilities 4) difficult documentation [1] https://stackoverflow.com/questions/76470000/is-there-a-reason-my-haskell-program-uses-so-much-memory https://stackoverflow.com/questions/76470000/is-there-a-reas...
