I think Haskell is not nice to write general purpouse libraries that could be easily and completly wrapped by other languages. You can wrap gtk, sqlite3, gsl, opengl etc., but you can't write python bindings for Data.Graph. But, then, if you claim there's nothing else Haskell can't do, what do you need those bindings for ? :) Best, Maurício
Hi everyone
So I should clarify I'm not a troll and do "see the Haskell light". But one thing I can never answer when preaching to others is "what does Haskell not do well?"
Usually I'll avoid then question and explain that it is a 'complete' language and we do have more than enough libraries to make it useful and productive. But I'd be keen to know if people have any anecdotes, ideally ones which can subsequently be twisted into an argument for Haskell ;)
Cheers,
Dave
