Haskell for me.
- jrockway 18y agoAgreed. It's more modern, more expressive, runs faster (and supports parallelism better, amusingly), and can talk to Erlang apps anyway. http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/Applications_and_libraries/Interfacing_other_languages/Erlang http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/Applications_and_librarie...
- critic 18y agoI don't know about "modern" and "expressive", but it's definitely faster, and I really like the fact that the compiler catches 95% of the silly errors I'd make in a dynamically typed language.
- jrockway 18y agoI don't find Haskell to be less expressive than languages like Perl. I will admit that I haven't written enough Erlang to really get a feel for expressiveness.
