Ignoring the joy of writing software with much more powerful abstractions for a moment (Python, Ruby, JS, PHP all look like jalopies now compared to Haskell) out has very real industrial benefits: Write software faster with fewer bugs, easi

$200k for that site is a ridiculous considering you could have learned to implement it your self and hired out the design.

Two times, I've split. First: when it was clear my co-founder and I no longer got along well and she wanted to take the product / business in a direction I wasn't excited about. Second: when I realized all of my extremely har

Yes I did mean that, thank you for the correction!

You should play a but with Erlang. I no longer advocate weakly typed languages (i would choose Haskell or Scala over erlang these days) but it does have some novel concepts and is a fun language to play with.

Learn to use emacs! What's great about it is that it's so flexible and powerful that any one can make it please them. Pretty much every feature that ever shows up in a cool new editor I end up seeing in emacs too. Very powerful ed

Well, you could build a process supervisor that runs in its own forked resource (I'm sure, I don't know the language too well) - we have that in Haskell too (you can see similar code in the Cloud Haskell project where you give a s

Not much to compare it to there. Rust's type system is much more advanced which is a big win and it is lower level but Erlang's model of reliability is based heavily on the BEAMVM. Rust has a good concurrency model but I doubt i

You are confusing "chaining" with "composition". The two have fundamental differences. This confusion is understandable though because languages without a strong type system make true composition very loose (the excep

And you know, that's totally fair. I'm not a mathematician so my perspective is limited only to producing production software. I'm simply relating my own experience in the hope that people will stop judging Haskell as a &quot

Idris is a wonderful language but the tooling there is even more immature for numerical computing than Haskell.

Look, asking people to cite opinions is a dumb way of having casual discussion. If you need any more input from me to convince you to learn something new, then it's not worth my time or yours. Like I said the tooling isn't as matu

"Swift eliminates entire classes of unsafe code. Variables are always initialized before use, arrays and integers are checked for overflow, and memory is managed automatically." Lol

While I agree with you on this pessimistic analysis I also think you're neglecting to include a consideration of cultural context, relativism, and sunnier culture. I think it is a parochial statement that, anthropologically, most cultu

Postgres is a great database, I'm particularly in love with hstore for the data that it makes sense for.

Thanks for replying. > My post did not propose any form of socialism. In fact, it didn't propose any solution at all. Looks like I read too much into your post I suppose and you're right that you didn't propose a solution.

Frameworks are whatever, diversify your base of languages and you'll be prepared to "use the right tool for the job". THAT is employability.
