Why does this crap always get posted, and always manage to float instead of being downvoted? You know what other programming language community blogs about their language and tools? ALL OF THEM. Why do people suddenly insist it is a problem that haskell users do the same things everyone else does? If every time something about ruby showed up on HN someone piped up to say "stop talking about ruby and actually build things people want" they would be rightly downvoted to shit. The rest of your post is the same sort of nonsense. Some open source code has no documentation?! What a shocker, I'm sure no other programming language has ever had any undocumented modules released in it before. The bitching about iteratees is particularly disingenuous. You don't need to use any of the competing solutions, other languages have no similar library at all, and the entire thing is very new. "Hurry up and standardize your cutting edge libraries that you just wrote and are still exploring" is both insulting and stupid.

> You know what other programming language community blogs about their language and tools? ALL OF THEM I don't see how that's a response to my complaint about there not being many haskell blog posts about languages and tools that aren't monad tutorials or "why don't more people use haskell". My entire point was wanting blogs about language and tools for fucks sake. > Some open source code has no documentation?! What a shocker, Since I said that the levels of documentation on hackage are much lower than the equivalent for every other language I use I'm again not sure what you are responding to. So yeah, a lot of open source code has no documentation. No shit. And the communities/languages that have more documentation have more users. Hackage is awful in this respect relative to other language communities. The rest is just pointing out that a better haskell platform level of release management would let more people use Haskell productively, it wasn't aimed anywhere near the writers of any of the iteratees libraries. Skimming over a comment and responding to what you wanted me to say could be considered "insulting and stupid".

So go read them instead of making nonsense posts? >Since I said that the levels of documentation on hackage are much lower than the equivalent for every other language Bullshit. Go look at the docs for random 3rd party modules in any language. Tons of modules are totally undocumented. Again, nothing you said is in any way reasonable. Everything you said applies equally to any other language, and would be rightfully downvoted in that context. It is sad that HN lets your turds float.
