Is Haskell really that… great as a programming language?
Is Haskell really that… great as a programming language?
Reading lots on Haskell recently I’m beginning to feel like it’s very cool from the CS point of view, but too overcomplicated from the practical one. And all attempts to prove otherwise, as far as I think of them, have failed.
I mean, you can definitely write a useful Haskell application but isn’t the cost too high? Isn’t after all its type system too restrictful? Doesn’t messing with ErrorT IO seem to be much ado about nothing?
