Re: [Haskell-cafe] Message

I don't think I'm going to write next twitter or facebook but yes, it is on my TODO list. If such an applications can be written with languages like PHP then why not. Can't think of any language that is worse than PHP but still there are lots of web applications written with that. Even I have written many using PHP. Why I would use Haskell? To see if it is better option to that problem than other languages. I have allready installed Yesod but for now I don't have enough time to work on this project. After 6 months the situation should be different. 2011/10/21 Michael Snoyman :

This is clearly a job for node.js and the /dev/null data store, since they are so web scale~

Less sarcasm: I think any of the main Haskell web frameworks (Yesod, Happstack, Snap) could scale better than Ruby or PHP, and would use any of those in a heartbeat for such a venture. I'd personally use Yesod.

I think data store would be a trickier issue. I'd likely use one of the key/value stores out there, possibly Redis, though I'd really need to do more research to give a real answer.

Wow, controversial point I guess... I would add: and if yes, what would you use and why?

Would you ever see yourself write a web application like Twitter or Facebook in Haskell?
