On: A Node.js hacker asks what Haskell can do to stay relevant.

Yes, I believe that was the implied punch-line of the submission. http://mobile.twitter.com/kirindave/status/83252128575004672

[Apocryphon → technomancy]

It's in JavaScript. If Haskell can replace JS on the client-side, maybe it could beat Node on that advantage.

[barkmadley → Apocryphon]

There has been work done to compile haskell into javascript so this might be a possibility in the future.

I am sure there is also a project that uses a haskell->llvm->javascript but I can't find the link at the moment.

Fair.
