I'm thinking about attempting the same thing. Leaving the country in a week and a half. Thinking about getting a few of my ideas out there while I travel.

It doesn't attain C-level speed yet. Maybe for a web developer's purposes it does, but definitely not for the kind of ridiculous optimizations that console games frequently need. Further, C/C++ runs the industry, and that's all the console

This is a property of many statically typed languages, and Haskell isn't known for being one of the more forgiving languages in that family. I appreciate that his goals were more mathematically oriented than not, but surely he would've seen

I've had the same general experience with interviews. The more conversational it is, even if provided some structure via either the resume or some prepared questions, the better it usually goes.

Home ownership doesn't assist in establishing fiscal stability. It's a symptom of financial health, not a cause. At best, it's an affectation in the absence of investment properties. Savings for the purpose of establishing flexibility and s

All it takes is for 5% of your requests to require a uncached database fetch for your concurrency model and I/O handling to be more important than rendering or other CPU bound activities in the process of serving a request on the frontend.
