FTR, I think you might have got mixed up here. Definitely good error reporting is a very major priority for the language, and I think we generally do better than Java at least when generics are involved, but we've never made any comparisons positive or negative to Haskell.
- RivieraKid 13y agoAhh, ok. BTW - what do you think about Julia? It's the most impressive dynamic language IMO.
- gavinking 13y agoDon't know anything about it. But it's good that there's a revival of interest in languages for scientific computing. When I was in uni all we had was Fortran :-/
- RivieraKid 13y agoI consider it a general-purpose language, it's mostly the libs and community that give it scientific bias. I've used it as a Python replacement for scientific computing recently and if the libs were more mature, I would choose it over Python for, say, web dev. Can highly recommend, especially for language designers :)
- gavinking 13y agoDon't get me wrong, I don't mean to belittle scientific computing, which is after all, a big part of my background (I'm a mathematician by training).
