chosen one. But Haskell seems to be buzz-full research platform. Now again to the top : what is the aim of Haskell project? If it is going to be used in real world applications it needs more attention to real world application developers and their needs.
you are right - just now Haskell is a huge technology with non-obvious path to learn. there is some work to make Haskell more pragmatic, but it's an chicken-and-egg problem - we have a small number of pragmatic programmers that use Haskell and therefore it's hard to change Haskell to suit their needs, on the other hand this means that pragmatic programmers can't grok Haskell on the way to make Haskell more pragmatic i especially mention renewal of Haskell standard to include modern language extensions, modern programming environments such as WinHugs or BusinessObjects, development of web/db/gui libraries, and definition of core (standard) libraries set one particular thing that we still lack is something like book "Haskell in real world" -- Best regards, Bulat mailto:Bulat.Ziganshin@gmail.com
