Hi Alberto,
you are working on *second order scalibility*?? Great. May I regard you
a one of the first of a breed of Haskell business evangelists?? ;-))
Somebody stated here - sorry, the name's missing - the relevance of
Hackage being diminuished by the great amount of *scientific* libraries,
no joke... Personally, I don't think Haskell should become like Java &
Co. So for at least for two reasons, I see at least two reasons to speak
open about what you are seemingly interested:
o to support Haskell library developers to better realize the value of
their work, and teams intending software projects in the non-standard
areas to realize advantages of using Haskell, once they are given
o to prevent conflicts, when Haskell grows economically more
successful, and allowing a harmonious transition between both cultures
Keep on the work ;-)

Let's maybe speak of *second order scalability*:
As first order scalability would rather be a matter in space time
load increased by repetitions, the concern of second order
scalability would be more about a *fractal* expansion of concepts
like a *closure* -- Haskell, already in a vivid exchange with
interactive theorem proving (e.g. Coq adopts type classes from
Haskell and dependent types vice versa) seems excellently
prepared... :-)
Interesting. I´m working in something like second order scalability.
Instead of brute performance by redundancy, high speed networks and
fast disks, scalability can be achieved by looking at the properties
of the data.
I ever tended to say financial applications are especially prone
to be boring -- the prototype of repetitive IT, even for strategy
the stupid 'traffic lights cockpits' or OLAP(!) ... But this
problem is rather supply driven to me.
For sure. This is supply driven. There are a lack of new ideas mainly
because the technology is low level and obsolete.
