Haskell looks good on paper, why all the hate?
- very fast compiler
- clean syntax
- a reasonnable number of available libraries (at least compared to typed racket)

What's the problem with it?

>>5
It mostly has to do with the people that use it.

>>6
Are they some kind of hipsters? People using other languages are often insufferable too.

>very fast compiler
Even fucking rustc is faster and it sucks on that front.
>clean syntax
Except if you do something that actually prodcues a proper binary that does something.
>a reasonnable number of available libraries (at least compared to typed racket)
Nobody uses typed Racket. Actually nobody uses Racket. Nim is more popular and it's a nonfunctional hack that barely works.

Hang you're are self.

/prog/ challenge, write a simple REST api in haskell after one day of exposure to the language. Good luck.

Haskell sounds good in theory but as soon as you start doing any actual work in it, all the typesystem advantage gets lost in IO() everywhere.

>>10
That's because it's not meant for actual work

>>8
Did I write that? I only remember trying to fix a bug in some old Haskell shit I wrote and large amounts of alcohol.
