Just out of curiousity, can you give me some examples of what you feel
these are?
Relational database libraries that work and have proper documentation
i.e. those homework killers - examples, not just API docs or half
finished wikis. Just google up how to connect to a database in any
well-used (commercially) language and there will be a ton of fully
fleshed out docs with examples I can cut n paste from.* No thinking,
no time wasted, just get it done and get on with the real stuff.
Haskell doesn't have that, and Happs isn't going to replace all those
databases out there. (yet)
*If you don't like the idea of cut n paste coding don't complain to
me, it's given me a career and I'm grateful for that.
