On: Four months with Haskell

[jwatte]

You will be happy to know that we now removed profiling from production builds, age our Haskell is now 12x faster than the PHP instead of "only" 6x faster :-)

I agree that any new technology introduced into an enterprise requires significant investment in training, which can be hard to justify for a startup chasing product market fit.

[CyberDildonics → jwatte]

Isn't Haskell 20 years old though?

[tome → CyberDildonics]

26 according to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haskell_%28programming_languag...

And this seems like a non-sequitur. A technology can be new to a company without being new in itself.

[dllthomas → CyberDildonics]

Parts of it. Basically all of it is pretty new to enterprise, though.

[tejon → CyberDildonics]

So is Magic: the Gathering.

The latest core language spec is 2010, and GHC (the de-facto standard compiler) adds several new language extensions annually.
