But ... we are ... basically by definition. Vanishing little projects actually need cloud scale infrastructure. And, to address your previous statement: one beefy server is actually pretty scalable. Soft threads spin up in microseconds to s

Tangent: what I like about (the) Haskell (ecosystem) is that most often you'll find the exact right tool for a job. Eg: in Python you get `dict` ... In Haskell you get very specialized versions of you need them. Do you have integers as

Hmm ... What's your problem with ghci debugging? Iirc it does not work worse then eg pdb. The only problem I encountered regularly was that bugs did only manifest in the optimized versions not in the debugged ones.
