There is literally zero appropriate use cases for mysql. If you need a relational database, use one. If you need a network hash table, use one. Don't use mysql at all.

I would like haskell without exceptions. Haskell has Maybe, Either, etc and a useful standard library to make the Monad instances of those useful. Which allows for libraries like this: http://hackage.haskell.org/package&#x
