There is nothing of merit in Python libraries to be learned.
That's almost true, but not 100%. E.g. does Haskell have doctests? I.e. you can write example code in the API-level docs, and there is tooling that can extract them, run them, and report whether the examples still work.
I've been doing that for years, with the exception that doing so in Haskell is far superior than in Python for reasons too long to list.
Ah, sweet.
for reasons too long to list.
Can somebody with a similar long-time working experience in Haskell doctests provide such a list? It would be helpful in more than one way: It would help advocate Haskell, and to the kind of audience that is interested in high quality so it's a double win; and it would help other language communities improve their doctest ecosystem, and I think that's what most multi-language people would very much like to happen.
