Implying Haskell should only be used in the ivory tower? Just because it can be abstract doesn't mean you can't do CRUD apps with Haskell - why not?

- derefr 13y agoWhat a language can do, and what a language is uniquely suited for, are distinct concepts. You can do CRUD apps in Haskell--but writing a CRUD app doesn't suggest Haskell, and so you won't likely hire Haskell people to write you a CRUD app. I didn't mean to imply that Haskell's specialty lies anywhere near the ivory tower, either. It seems to me closer to a replacement for Ada in writing provable-yet-optimized software.
