A comment on Reflections on Using Haskell for My Startup. Parent comment
We let some features and monads go and picked F# instead of Haskell.
>> It is an accomplishment if you get your basic project setupped in 2 weeks
More like two hours if you absolutely cluless.
- It is very hard to make popular libraries work together
Not an issue.
- 1/3 of the popular libraries are not well maintained, there are no docs and maintainers do not reply to PRs
- It is hard to use latest GHC versions because of the previous problem
- It is hard to get additional devs
Same. Few F# devs out there.
- Compile times are ok-ayish but can be a pain
- There is no good IDE and refactoring
Not an issue (VS, VS Code, and a few dozen others)
I know it is not as strict as Haskell but we have really a good time so far.
