I'm curious to know what you think of Go in general as well as Go vs Erlang.

I'm pretty sure you can do that. See units in F# for example.

All of the languages? Go doesn't have them. Neither does C.

Thanks! This is nice. I'm playing with J though since the resources seem very nice.

I've been enjoying Nixos[0] and hope to try Nixops[1] soon. The difference between Nixos and docker is that nixos makes it possible to have a truly reproducible environment. See the surprisingly readable paper[2] for more details. 0:

See my post history for many of the positives of Haskell. The above post only highlighted the negative.

I didn't have large problems with Haskell library availability until lately. I was attempting to see what some code from work would look like from work. It used: Mssql, Cassandra, CSV, and MySQL MySQL and CSV were no problem. The Cassa

Is there anything like Q that is open source? J seems kind of similar.

What other languages do type classes like Haskell?

How is STM like a kick in the teeth? In performance? How? In clarity? How? Can you give examples of STM being a kick in the teeth versus mutability.

I can't speak for pure4j, but I would be very wary about suggesting Frege at my workplace to (what I'm assuming are) Java programmers. I feel like some Java programmers would have almost as much culture shock with something like H

I disagree that Haskell is not practical. Checkout the Yi[0] project for instance, it has lots of practical real world Haskell code patterns. 0: https://github.com/yi-editor/yi

> So your "type system can really help" is really just an irrelevancy you've come up with to try hide your attempt to shove your preferred programming paradigm onto other people. Not exactly, but it is a weaker advantage t

Yes, but it doesn't bolster your argument as much as you think. The state monad in Haskell offers a more principled (some say annoying) way of dealing with mutation. IORef's if I recall correctly offer the type of mutation similar

A type system can really help here as well. sendUserEmail :: FromEmail -> ToEmail -> [EmailHeader] -> EmailBody -> IO () However that also requires the discipline of wrapping a lower level function that is probably:

It's paid, but I personally think Haskell Book[0] is much better. I can say its better in both helping form a deep intuition and teaching how to use Haskell in the real world. A lot of my imperatively biased coworkers have bought this

Python's list comprehensions are a specialization of Haskell's list comprehensions[0]. I think Scala was influenced by Haskell's list comprehensions. 0: needs citation, though I remember reading something semi official about

I wonder if git would be better served by a more modern language.
