Future of Coding

&gt; That Haskell never gained widespread adoption exemplifies a paradoxical truth in software engineering: Great programming languages aren’t always great for programming.

don't tell anybody I prototype ideas in haskell to make sure they work before coding them up in whatever other language my coworkers are using

Miranda and QuickCheck share the same problem, right time, right thing, wrong license and unwillingness to change it

(as everything I say, prefix with "from my understanding")

Idk if it’s really true, but I really like the sentiment at the end that Haskell is more about craft & art than product & function.

Strange article, not least because Haskell does have widespread adoption in some areas like finance and algorithmic music.

<@UN57U8V53> me too! lately I've found prototyping in javascript, then firming up ideas in haskell, then porting back to javascript or whatever works really well, plus you benefit from the third system effect

The conclusion is also strange - it's true that Haskell has influenced other languages, but that was always the explicit stated aim of SPJ etc.. Rather than an unexpected result of a 'useless' exercise

It’s also such odd timing for this article. I could see an article like this 5-6 years ago maybe
