You are welcome :)
- jonathansizz 12y agoBest of luck. Let me know if any of your projects gain any traction.
- Pacabel 12y agoIt's a shame to see that comment getting modded down. It's absolutely valid and correct. The three examples given in that other comment are pretty much unknown. xmonad might be a slightly better example, but it's still pretty much unknown, too. While Haskell has seen some usage, of course, we really haven't seen any major and widely-used non-compiler software developed using it. It's perfectly legitimate to point this out, and using very obscure counterexamples doesn't change this reality.
- saryant 12y ago> It's perfectly legitimate to point this out There's a difference between pointing it out and being a jerk while pointing it out. Hence the downvotes.
- xooyoozoo 12y agoI don't use or know about any of the other tools mentioned, but Pandoc isn't exactly someone's pet project. It may be niche, but it's not unknown. If you need to convert markdown/rest/latex/etc to pdf/html/epub/etc, Pandoc's gonna come up.
- chrisdone 12y agoHm, both git annex and pandoc already have traction for their respective use-cases.
- bilalq 12y agoI had no idea pandoc was written in Haskell. I've found it to be an incredibly useful tool.
- dave809 12y agoNot incredibly popular but Nikki and the Robots is a game written in haskell that has recently been greenlit on steam http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=107105028&tscn=1354518258 http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=107105...
