What advantages it bring over Erlang/Elixir OTP ? Other than get to use Haskell...

• flippant 11y ago
  The obvious advantage is typed channels. http://haskell-distributed.github.io/documentation.html#typed_channels http://haskell-distributed.github.io/documentation.html#type...

    You can typecheck your had hoc Erlang protocols using Concuerror and Dialyzer
    • chongli 11y ago
      Haskell's types are used for a lot more than type-checking.

      Dialyzer is nice, no doubt! But to compare it to Haskell's typing is disingenuous at best. Success typing captures far less information and maintains far fewer invariants.

  Faster and less memory intensive[1] and has a type system. [1]: http://benchmarksgame.alioth.debian.org/u64q/compare.php?lang=ghc&lang2=erlang http://benchmarksgame.alioth.debian.org/u64q/compare.php?lan...

    Hummm... I do agree that Haskell will be faster and less memory intensive than erlang, but this benchmark is not really significant... I am not going to use erlang to write a mandelbrot...
    • dons 11y ago
      Yeah, it could well be that you just care about latency hiding on e.g. network services. For that raw compute and memory is much less important than having a reasonable thread scheduler and cheap threads.
      • siscia 11y ago
        Exactly my point :) I was wonder, how well haskel does in that area...
