   I agree with you, though I think it is because of the authors style. Check out some of Chris Done's ats code examples in a more appealing style: https://gist.github.com/chrisdone/c23251e8b975dc805876

   For 2D, I don't see how Gloss[0] isn't complete or high level (what are you comparing it to?). There's a cool example of drawing a clock[1] as well as others[2]. The package is on hackage[3] and has a website[4], but the gith

   I'm pretty sure I read about someone writing this at some point, but I couldn't find it.

   As an aside, if your interested in safer and faster I'm benchmarking some of the ATS2 code examples[0] which were created for (but not yet in[1][2]) the computer language benchmarks game. It seems to beat C and C++ in some (many?) case

   > Idris - it seems like the only one that's oriented towards practical programming Whether you like ATS or not, it's very oriented towards practical programming. Also, ATS mostly looks bad IMO because of the style the author us

    Here's 2 Examples (Warning: Didn't run them and could have missed imports). One parallelizing a sudoku solver and the other making a reminder program concurrent. Both are from Parallel and Concurrent Programming In Haskell[0]. Seq

    A Haskell solution, though I'm sure someone can do better ;) Perhaps I'll clean it up using printf/format[0] later. {-# LANGUAGE OverloadedStrings #-} import Control.Monad (liftM) import qualified

    Good point. Not sure how to avoid bias or if it's even possible in this case. All I can do is let him know that the second design/attempt would have been easier in just about any language.

    What about Go or Node make it more designed around concurrency than Haskell? It sounds like you are trying to say Erlang, Go, and Node have "first class concurrency". I'd agree that Erlang does, but I'd say that Node and

    I have a friend who is using Java for some chemistry related programming that could be modeled particularly nicely with lazy evaluation and ADT's. I told him to keep sticking with Java and get something working, and then I might be abl

    No one is responding to this because it isn't worth responding to. PHP's libraries are a mess and while the documentation is pretty nice, it's not nice enough to make up for the other problems.

    There are concise declarative solutions in languages such as Ocaml and Haskell.

    Oh this looks very interesting. It would be fun to read this and make Haskell versions of the programs as well as learn Ocaml at the same time!

    You could write those command line libraries/etc in Ocaml now ;)

    Also, I'm not sure why you'd need to inherit to provide this functionality. The user could just provide a monadic type the function to run the gui is expecting and extend it however they wish.

    I asked how redundant classes and interfaces improve maintainability over time. I'll narrow down my question some more: How does duplicated code improve maintainability over time?
