> Regarding the site with the turotial suite: I am not a big fan of harvesting community knowledge, input and ideas and then go commercial The tutorials are offered for free, right? And even if they make some money of some purchasable tutorials: they have to pay for hosting too. > On a second note, how many will use a platform like fpc's, where an external entity has immediate access to your code, for serious projects ? You mean their Haskell Center offering? This one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZHSBwlm5C8U http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZHSBwlm5C8U I think it is awesome. It makes the simple stuff dead simple (get a decent IDE with one-click web-deploy integrated up and running in <5mins, with an example app); while the hard stuff is still as easy as it was before (you can deploy to your own hardware, using your own desktop text editor and local compilation). You say "serious", that's a strechable concept. But if serious could mean: doing some green-field web app consulting gigs (which can make serious money); then i think it is already-ready for "serious". Then considering they are such a young company -- I'm really interested where they will head for :) I think Haskell Center will turn out to be a game changer, a next-gen development environment (that graciously degrades back into old-skool native code producing DIY deployed stuff).
