I saw a quote somewhere round here that went like this:
"Haskell isn't really suited to heavily I/O-oriented programs."
"What, you mean like darcs?"
"...oh yeah."
Great quote! :)
TY. :-)
Be even greater if I could remember who the heck said it... (It's
probably a #haskell quote from the Humour section on the Wiki, as a guess.)
Actually, thinking about it, if you wanted to demonstrate just how badly
Haskell sucks at I/O, we have:
- Darcs
- XMonad
- Lambdabot
- Frag
- Wasn't there a stand-alone HTTP server somewhere?
- GHC (provides make-like functionallity, and also invokes half a dozen
external programs to do its work)
- Any others?
Yep, I'd say that's pretty conclusive. ;-)
