"If I want to write a website in Python, I still need to know Javascript, HTML, and CSS, so why bother with Python?"
Right tool for the right job. That's why I don't think you should use css on the server! Or haskell on the client's browser!
- efnx 12y agoCan you elaborate on why Haskell is not appropriate for the browser? Just for clarification, it is a general purpose language whereas CSS is not.
- zo1 12y agoNo particular reason. It was the first example language that popped into my head when I was thinking of "what language do I think really doesn't belong in a client browser". i.e. my personal opinion. I'm sure it's a perfectly valid option to put in the browser, though.
- efnx 12y agoI agree with you that you should use the right tool for the job. No CSS on the server :) There are a couple of projects (ghcjs, fay, purescript, haste) that make it possible to write Haskell for the browser. After maintaining JS libraries with a team over the past three years I've come to wish for Haskell's type system and compiler. It would make my job much easier. :)
