I'm sorry, but you're upset because folks are passionate about a language that brings new perspective, and maybe is not exactly as useful in some areas as existing solutions? This is exactly the kind of attachment Bret warns about.
- swannodette 13y agoI don't think I expressed attachment to any particular solution or approach - I simply pointed out an extremely large aspect of modern software engineering where Haskell's supposed benefits aren't all that clear. So who's attached?
- nazgulnarsil 13y agoThis strikes me as being mad the Tesla doesn't compete in F1.
- munificent 13y agoAre you trying to compare interactive software, one of the dominant forms of programs and widely used by billions of people every day, to formula 1 cars, an engineering niche created solely for a set of artificial racing criteria? A better analogy would be being mad that the Tesla can't drive on the interstate.
- nazgulnarsil 13y ago"sophisticated games" pretty specifically implies contemporary 3d gaming, which is not a useful criteria for exploring a fundamental paradigm shift in programming.
- asdasf 13y agoThe fact that you think a lisp machine is an "extremely large aspect of modern software engineering" certainly makes me feel that you are expressing an attachment to a particular approach.
