Re: [Haskell-cafe] big discussion about Haskell on Reddit

fft1976:

I noticed that on Programming Reddit, where I lurk, there is a big discussion about the disconnect between how much Haskell is advocated there and the number of applications written in it.

http://www.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/84sqt/dear_reddit_i_am_seeing_1...

The difficulty of reasoning about memory and CPU-efficiency in nontrivial programs was suggested as an explanation.

As well as a million other crazy things, sadly. Reminds me of: http://xkcd.com/386/ Just to cheer people up, there are now 1124 packages on hackage.haskell.org, and on average ~10 releases of Haskell apps and libs are happening each day: http://galois.com/~dons/images/hackage-daily-graph.png -- Don (goes back to writing some code)
