How do you come to that conclusion? I am all about the product, which is why it isn't open source.

How do you come to that conclusion? I am all about the product, which is why it isn't open source.
- dllthomas 13y agoWell, I think there's clearly such a contingent, and I think it's more visible because of Haskell's academic heritage; it may also be larger, but I am much less confident in that - there are people who love pushing the tech in most languages.
- asdasf 13y agoI think it isn't more visible, it is just more talked about. There is a perception, not a reality.
- dllthomas 13y agoI don't think there's a difference between what you mean by "talked about" and what I mean by "visible". I am convinced that the perception is there - I perceive it. I am not convinced that the reality is present - though I am not entirely convinced it's absent, either.
- asdasf 13y agoThere is a big difference. Visible means you can see that "contingent" existing. Talked about means they don't actually exist, but people always refer to them as though they do exist.
- dllthomas 13y agoSo you think there is not a subset of Haskell developers who are more interested in tweaky tech than in practical problems? If that's the case, then it's true that I disagree with you - as well I should, having observed and interacted with such people myself.
