Thanks! So it seems to be not packages, but templates, and this comment suggests it wasn't GitHub doing the rate limiting after all: https://github.com/commercialhaskell/stack/issues/4979#issue... > E

Actually, changes to the compiler hardly ever break anything. I recently upgraded four compiler versions in a row and apart from a bug and some warnings the compiler didn't force any changes at all. It's primarily changes to libr

A book I find truly wonderful! If I was going to recommend one book about how to design software, it would be this one.

If you share a transcript from a cabal session I'll look into this for you.

That's interesting. Could you say more? This is something that we (speaking as part of the Haskell community) should fix. As far as I know Stack/Stackage should pick up packages from Hackage. What does it use GitHub for?

That's shifting the goalposts somewhat! Can Haskell be used for LOB software. Yes! In fact it's the one I am most effective in for that purpose. If I was starting a startup, it would be in Haskell, no question. "Let's

Interesting. I wonder where you met them. I've worked with tens of Haskell programmers in my career, most of whom were sad if they were required to stop working in Haskell. I've never met anyone who actively sought out a Haskell

Why not? Many of us do it every day.

I'm not sure why you say not to respond with 'use the IO monad' because that's exactly how you'd do it! As an example, here's some code that updates elements of a vector. import Data.Vector.Unboxed.Mutab

Wow, my jaw is on the floor. This is such a good idea! I already had the idea of tracking issues in the same repo as the code -- not that I actually use that idea -- but I didn't have the idea of doing PRs in the repo itself. Love it!

Then fix up the commit history at the end, for example like this: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41509051

I think there's an ambiguity here between squashing every commit in the PR into a single one, and squashing fixup commits made as responses to review into the commits that originated them. For example, if the original commit series was

I also come from the Haskell corner and I agree with roenxi. I don't think that FP is a well-defined concept, nor do I understand your characterization of pure FP. Let's take a simple program main = do v <- newIOR

It's not a Haskell thing. It stands for "Language Server Protocol", was invented by Microsoft, and is available for any language to benefit from. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Language_Server_Protocol

Seems unlikely. Value extraction would lead to big dividends but declining share price.

Correct. andrewshadura pointed that out above, too. The former is equivalent to the original formulation that I was trying to simplify.

I agree, and in fact that's the basis of my Haskell library Bluefin[1]. If you look at it from one angle it's a Haskell "effect system" resembling other Haskell approaches for freely composing effects. If you look at it

Actually, this seems to be the clearest way of getting rid of negatives: > I believe all western nations want all messaging to be free of remote backdoors

Thanks, yes, I should have said > I believe no western nation wants any messaging to be non-locally-backdoored

Perhaps you got thrown by the double negative? > I don't believe there are any western nations that want non-locally-backdoored messaging of any sort means > I believe every western nation wants all messaging to be locally-backdo

Haskell has a long history of a small base library with a lot of essential functionality being provided as third party libraries, including mtl and transformers (monad transformers), vector (an array library). Even time (a time library) an
