Be prepared to be much less productive in Haskell; you can't just get into it and start writing code. Everything must be well thought out before you start to write a line This is only true when you are becoming familiar with the

You can prevent access to `unsafePerformIO` and other unsafe language features using "Safe" Haskell (e.g. -XSafe). This happens at compile time. Functions like unsafePerformIO (IO a -> a), pure C FFI functions, overlapping inst

It has nothing to do with fashion. The Haskell language has been around for decades and has grown in different directions based on experience and knowledge earned throughout it's lifetime. There are apps and libraries on Hackage which

Yes, Darcs predates Git by a few years and was used by GHC, XMonad, Happstack, and several other well-known Haskell projects.

OCaml modules have many similar characteristics to Haskell type class[0]. One of the primary differences being that the Haskell type classes handle dictionary passing automatically and support ad-hoc polymorphism. This can be achieved with

It's about encoding the specific problem in the safest way possible. Typos and missing cases represent a very large set of trivial bugs which crop up in many situations like teams, changing requirements, scale, and reuse. The JS functi

This is what you generally see in larger haskell programs which might have a name clash (at least it's what I use): data F = F { fName :: String } data P = P { pName :: String }

Both are great languages and worth learning. All programming languages have quirks.

This is very cool. I'd be interested to see more data interaction and how to call a Go function from Rust. I implemented a similar experiment with Haskell and Rust[0]. It does some simple math and also passes a Haskell callback functio

The syntax takes some getting used to but it's useful to point out that the core language is pretty small. Here are some links which might help: http://www.haskellforall.com/2014/10/how-to-desugar-haskell-...

I see, it really depends on your goal. The Dockerfile in the repo looks like it's built primarily for Haskell development. When I'm working with production environments, I build the Haskell executable locally and add that (statica

I think it's a nice gesture as long as you are polite about it. I would be happy that someone read the content and wanted to help improve it.

It has its difficulties (deployment?) but I'm really enjoying it. Anything specific? What kind of environments are you deploying in?

Yesod would be the closest to Rails. Scotty would be closer to Sinatra and Flask. Spock is similar to Scotty but comes with a few more built-in features like type-safe routing, sessions, etc. I recommend Yesod but there are certainly some a

Getting into YCombinator is a means to an end. If YCombinator is your ultimate goal, reconsider where you want to see yourself and your startup. Get out and build. Get customers. Change the world. The time and energy spent being nervous abo

Great to see more action in the real estate space. One thing I found interesting was that you actually registered to become brokers to distribute the data and get the commission. I'm not surprised to see so much push-back from agents [

We use Haskell at SimplyRETS ( https://simplyrets.com ). The core api service is written in Yesod and various other components are written in Scotty and WAI.

In addition to this, the release duration is somewhat experimental. Why such short support windows? The strawmen of three months between releases and a one month grace period are ridiculously short support windows. The reason I propose

ghc has an RTS option to locate errors of that nature: -xc (Only available when the program is compiled for profiling.) When an exception is raised in the program, this option causes a stack trace to be dumped to stderr. This can be part

Do you use any open source software on a daily basis? I enjoy contributing to the tools I personally use. Start with small contributions that are not too high commitment. Engage authors on their issue trackers and ask questions. Read the so
