Good chance you've already read this but if not here is a good post by Linus about his take on the problems with darcs:
I always have to smile at the complaint that something is "academic". :D You know, like purely functional programming, that's soo academic. It's centered around some academic ideas, like mathematical functions, higher-rank types, monads and zygohistomorphic prepromorphisms, that have absolutely no relevance in real life, and that just don't work in practice. You do *not* want to write whole programs that way. At some point, you need something that works at another level than pure functions. What the *hell* do you do? I think a better invective would be "amazing". Best regards, Heinrich Apfelmus -- http://apfelmus.nfshost.com
