Well sure, I do find in haskell some errors are less common or easier to solve, others are more common or harder to solve. There is a balance of pros and cons with any language mostly.

@raichoo

I'll check it out, though algebraic types are nothing new to me. Keep in mind i never said there wasnt anything unique about Haskell, only that it didnt produce better applications in any sense.

I am loving spacemacs so far!!

@byron

That is true, if im having fun im more motivated and that should be factored in for sure. Next time im working on a project that isnt so dependent on contribution i will likely take a stab at Haskell. Until now I've just done toy snippets like this:

@fluffy @tuxcrafting spacemacs looked pretty :)

I decided programming was getting too easy so wanted to try out a new IDE.. Going to give Spacemacs a try. Looks cool!

@raichoo I like haskell because its fun. But it cant really do anything better or worse than any other language. In fact since it isnt as popular if anything it works to my disadvantage due to having fewer libraries to pick from.

I would happily pick a language just for enjoyment to use it alone if i could get away with it (and on many projects I can). But sadly in this case practical needs outweigh my personal enjoyment.

@raichoo Depends what your building. In my case I am building a decentralized P2P system that, like all such systems, has its success determined by how many people use it. So in this case getting attention is of critical importance really.

@raichoo In terms of enjoying what your coding, I agree, do what is fun.

Thats the thing, you are going to pick what languages you find fun, most people would, most people SHOULD. But thats also why if I want a piece of software to be successful I will have better luck picking a popular language.

Whenever I want to write a project in haskell I quickly look at other projects like xmonad and how simply choosing haskell for the most part has lead to it getting very little attention compared to things like i3

@raichoo I run a lot of different open-source projects across several different languages. I find that language choice is a huge factor in the actua number of contributors you get on an active and useful project.

@raichoo Not as many as, say, python.

@matrix unfollow ;)

@realcaseyrollins I often say MSNBC is the fox of the left. In my case I dont mean that as a compliment :)

I really want to code more open-source Haskell but i just cant justify the lack in contribution that would result in....

#haskell #it #cs #programming

@elthommy QOTO is a STEM instance (I'm its founder).. If your looking for IT but also the greater world of STEM as a whole we may be a good fit.

Some info, while we are a STEM instance what we mean by that is all our users are STEM professionals or have a focus on STEM in their life in some way (even if just as a hobby). But we do not put limitations on the topics posted.

So while there is a lot of scholarly STEM conversations or cool eye candy in our feed there is also a lot of just having fun and messing around.
