+1 for GitHub... I think they are doing some good.. and would love to see that as a standard for UI design of open-source projects to follow. Though am not sure..

+1 for the Heisenberg uncertainty of taste.. -1 for hire a good designer.. Not because it's a bad idea, but in the current context(Open-source) it's has a lesser probbability of working..... Though would like to see someone try and experime

It sounds like other-people-hackability is the real problem for you then. i guess it's hard to convince someone from other programming paradigms to spend the effort and time required to get proficient in haskell.

//would it be a good ROI? I am only a haskell beginner but i think we can break down this question a little more specific by talking about exact timespan of the projects. From what i understand haskell's maintainability is a huge advantage

I agree with the basic hypothesis. Though wonder how it can be measured. I know my preferred term is awareness, but neither is it any more measurable. My experience suggests two tasks at a time is a reasonable substitute to make sure you a

Well, my bet is on it being something of a mix between bloom filter and a graph. i.e the interconnectedness of graph and the probabilistic nature of Bloom filter both would be a fundamental element. Ofcourse, this will make sense only as a

Good point: But the analogy may/may not hold if we look at actual numbers. My bet is on it not holding and PLOS style coming out better. Unfortunately, i have no idea of the balance sheet/economics of a journal publisher. Is there any such

Well, this is one of my reasons for python over Java as a programming language. There are some procedures that don't fit naturally into a class or object and I should be allowed write functions for them. I was a OOP fan, when i learnt c++,

Good topic for discussion. The article of course simplifies, but it was inevitable. Anyway, being from india, i can see the validity of the point. I am no highly active contributor in any open-source project, but have realized (from partici
