Is there any point to Haskell except stroking your ego by pretending you're doing math?
I have spent like 8 months learning it and haven't done anything useful with it at all. What a waste. I'm cutting my losses right now before I waste more time diving into all the extensions and shit. I'm fucking done.
I think the reason I didn't make anything with it is the same reason no one else makes anything with it. It's faux-math bullshite. Making programs is a practical endeavor. Programming is engineering, not masturbatory dreaming about types. It also attracts and fosters a perfection seeking mindset. You get so obsessed with "correctness" that you accomplish Nothing.
The biggest software project written in Haskell will always be Haskell. It has as much of a future as Symta does.
I get why people get into Haskell. They want to feel smart. Next time I'll just read an actual math book. It'd be far more useful.

>>87 there are a few interesting haskal projects: from unixy stuff like shellcheck or xmonad to some super secret quant shit. but I guess most of that could be more easily written in something like ocaml. haskal is a dead dog because it will never be a practical functional language like ocaml, f# or even clojure and it is past its prime as an academic wankery language, having been replaced by the likes of idris. also ples type check my dubs
What is the best distro for a VPS that is secure out of the box? Is CentOS okay? Do you have to set anything up or change the default settings or is it good to go with defaults (aside from changing passwords)?

a push pop
>>104 a candy thing, it was a pun about data structures (you can push or pop with a stack) not funny when you have to explain the joke >>105 incorrect, urban dictionary "definitions" always make non-sexual things into something sexual, what a stupid site Here is what they actually are: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Push_Pop#/media/File:Push_pops_(candy).jpg

Modern apps: A: What the fuck, someone made that into an app? And they made money from it? Shit, I could've done it. I bet I'm a better developer than they are. B: Yeah, but you didn't. Instead, you obsessed over type systems and editors and config files. While they were thinking about societal problems to solve (and monetize), you were arguing about programming languages on forums. You're a programmer's programmer, but the successful ones are the ones who break out of tech bubbles and make changes in the real world.
