I really enjoy Functional programming (at least until I try to do something serious then frustration sets in). I can't produce software in a timely and cost effective fashion without a large body of high quality, documented and maintained libraries.
I get the feeling that Haskell is for researchers to explore ideas about programming in but no one is interested in doing The grind work of cranking out useful basic libraries. I guess you need borrow some of those Java Chimps :).
Am I the only person on the list that feels this way ?
No. You're not. I wish I knew the language better so I could start
working on those libraries. I love the language, but can't use it.
