Go is neat, but why not just use Haskell? (etc.)

• clubhi 12y ago
  Haskell is ok, but you should check out the dynamic nature of Python
  • jbeja 12y ago
    I think that the dynamic nature of python is why some folks prefer haskell over it.
    • coldtea 12y ago
      Well, not that many. So that settles it then.
      • jbeja 12y ago
        That is why i said some.
    • clubhi 12y ago
      yeah, that was my joke... no one got it. basically I'm talking about the never ending hunt for a perfect language

    You should check out the dynamic nature of Typeable. "The module Data.Dynamic uses Typeable for an implementation of dynamics." http://hackage.haskell.org/package/base-4.7.0.0/docs/Data-Typeable.html http://hackage.haskell.org/package/base-4.7.0.0/docs/Data-Ty...

  Monads Or more specifically, how non-intuitive it is to use the IO stuff I don't care what it uses, or what is it called, I care about being able to use it with what I know So yeah, I'll go for Go instead of Haskell
  • Peaker 12y ago
    The IO stuff has almost nothing to do with monads. It is unfamiliar, but if you use static typing, at least reap the benefits of better error checking, no runtime null dereferences, etc.

    Yeah, because why would we ever need the compiler to help us identifying operations which make it harder to reason about our programs!
