Hi everyone
So I should clarify I'm not a troll and do "see the Haskell light". But
one thing I can never answer when preaching to others is "what does
Haskell not do well?"
Usually I'll avoid then question and explain that it is a 'complete'
language and we do have more than enough libraries to make it useful and
productive. But I'd be keen to know if people have any anecdotes,
ideally ones which can subsequently be twisted into an argument for
Haskell ;)
GHC's scheduler lacks any hard timeliness guarantees.
Thus it's quite hard to use haskell in realtime or even soft-realtime
environments.
This is probably not a fundamental problem with haskell. It's a problem
with the compiler/RTS which we happen to be using. It may be true that
it's harder to write an RTS with realtime guarantees but I doubt it's
impossible.
