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 ?

-- Michael T. Richter <ttmrichter@gmail.com> (GoogleTalk: ttmrichter@gmail.com) Never, ever, ever let systems-level engineers do human interaction design unless they have displayed a proven secondary talent in that area. Their opinion of what represents good human-computer interaction tends to be a bit off-track. (Bruce Tognazzini) |
