Why I Don't Code in Haskell Anymore?

[VojtaJavora]

As someone who mostly programs in C, any package manager that actually exists is magic to me.

[dimator]

Ah, but that is too bad for us, because your old Haskell videos are some of them most informative and important videos I've seen. Monoids, IO monads, your explanations were just 👌

[Mutual_Information]

This was the first time I heard anything about Haskell that wasn’t Haskell propaganda

[youtubepooppismo]

a monad is a monoid in the category of endofunctors.

Thank you! Haskell is giving me fits and I am trying to learn it but you've nailed part of my problem.

The "server" that hosts all of my projects is basically two Raspberry Pis connected by a cheap ethernet switch and a lot of hope and prayers 😅

[lonelyfloat]

As someone who loves programming in Haskell, I can't agree more LMAO

[SimGunther]

Dependency Roulette is the most fun game for anyone who is tired of C's packaging brilliancy and just want to mess around with XML, JSON, or cabal files guessing which version of which package is compatible only to find out it was out of order. If you were missing stress in your life, this is totally the game for you!

Have you used Haskell/Cabal recently? Things have improved a lot, and there’s a strong emphasis on making the tooling around the language much better for commercial use.
Obviously I’m biased, Haskell has been paying my bills for most of the past decade, but because of that, I have seen the huge effort that’s gone into improving things. It’s also worth remembering Haskell is relatively old, so the designed of tools like Cabal were amazing in their time, but newer languages have made improvements from having a clean slate.

I love these shorter, to the point, videos in addition to the longer ones :)

Doing katas in Haskell is fun and satisfying at least

[rogergalindo]

after having spent 20+ hours trying to get a Haskell project working, can confirm, it’s a fucking pain in the ass

Haskell is not developed by mathematicians. I don't think any of the main GHC developer is a mathematician.

[IronicHavoc]

Haskell is very fun to learn and then apply the stuff you learned somewhere else

[myfavouritecolorisgreen]

No one gets to hate on Haskell, except for the ones that love it. So yeah, you are allowed to hate on Haskell. <3

[vonBottorff]

Haskell seems to be split between super-mathy research people . . . and people who want it to be a working programming language. Alas. And even the mathy stuff about Haskell seems very often one-off and lost-in-the-weeds. Evidence: Bad docs that are not much better than stream of conscience/reference dumps. Haskell needs a big, centralized effort to deal with all this fragmentation. But then there's also this feeling that it's just the temporary "base camp" of some great assault on category theory, that Agda is the true "peak" language. Fragmented and schizoid is Haskell for sure.

[hulucius]

The real issue of Haskell is not really its type system or its language concepts, but its toolchain….

[Czeckie]

as a mathematician: how do you dare to be this right?!

[Adityarm.]

I never even tried doing anything except abstract problem solving in Haskell despite it being my favourite language of all. Somehow python, go, c++ just naturally feel far better for application development - which sadly is often far from elegant.

[davidyanceyjr]

It's a crime, I have tried many ways to use haskell in my current project- I too love the language. I've resorted to Nix as a last ditch effort.
