Hi Alberto, you are working on *second order scalibility*?? Great. May I regard you a one of the first of a breed of Haskell business evangelists?? ;-)) Somebody stated here - sorry, the name's missing - the relevance of Hackage being diminuished by the great amount of *scientific* libraries, no joke... Personally, I don't think Haskell should become like Java & Co. So for at least for two reasons, I see at least two reasons to speak open about what you are seemingly interested: o to support Haskell library developers to better realize the value of their work, and teams intending software projects in the non-standard areas to realize advantages of using Haskell, once they are given o to prevent conflicts, when Haskell grows economically more successful, and allowing a harmonious transition between both cultures Keep on the work ;-) Nick Alberto G.

This reminds me of the whole agent thing -- pretty much dominated by Java (e.g., Jade, Jason, Jack) nowadays --, for which I would bet lots things are done more straigthforward using Haskell -- especially those parts the Java coders are usually proud of... Let's maybe speak of *second order scalability*:
As first order scalability would rather be a matter in space time load increased by repetitions, the concern of second order scalability would be more about a *fractal* expansion of concepts like a *closure* -- Haskell, already in a vivid exchange with interactive theorem proving (e.g. Coq adopts type classes from Haskell and dependent types vice versa) seems excellently prepared... :-)
Interesting. I´m working in something like second order scalability. Instead of brute performance by redundancy, high speed networks and fast disks, scalability can be achieved by looking at the properties of the data.
I ever tended to say financial applications are especially prone to be boring -- the prototype of repetitive IT, even for strategy the stupid 'traffic lights cockpits' or OLAP(!) ... But this problem is rather supply driven to me.
For sure. This is supply driven. There are a lack of new ideas mainly because the technology is low level and obsolete.
