Too bad they didn't pimp Haskell as practical. -- _jsn ___ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe

jason.dusek: Too bad they didn't pimp Haskell as practical. It looked like an archaic view of Haskell based on reading wikipedia, imo. Perhaps we should take charge of the wikipedia page, if it is that influential. ___ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe

Amen to that. People who haven't really given a fair look at functional langauges (Haskell in particular) seem to have a very poor conception of them. Again, this seems to especially be a problem with Haskell (i.e., the whole monads are hard thing)... If this is where people are getting their information from, it would definitely behoove the Haskell community to update its image to further Haskell and FP in general :) On Sun, Dec 7, 2008 at 12:11 PM, Don Stewart [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: jason.dusek: Too bad they didn't pimp Haskell as practical.

dons: jason.dusek: Too bad they didn't pimp Haskell as practical. It looked like an archaic view of Haskell based on reading wikipedia, imo. Perhaps we should take charge of the wikipedia page, if it is that influential. To those reading, the wikipedia article is here, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haskell_(programming_language) Feel free to improve it. We have lots of good content about the current state of the language, compilers, libraries, applications, domains of use, size of community, commercial use and so on on haskell.org, so just apply what you know. Perhaps we can get a better article out of this that more accurately reflects the thousands of people reading this list and using Haskell, the thounsand or so libraries, our excellent optimizing compiler, and the broad range of apps being produced. -- Don ___ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
