Dave, I had seen the Stackoverflow post before so I was surprised when I clicked the link here and got there, because your title misrepresents the question.

I thank you for posting it here because it has indeed led to interesting discussion. But please consider not editorializing titles in a way that can lead to flame wars.

I didn't think I was editorializing, and I apologized after it became clear I had misinterpreted the author. I knew the concept was controversial and interesting, so I posted it (and it was both interesting and controversial).

I'm afraid AccurateFuturePrediction.hs doesn't compile on OSX due to the size limits, so my ability to avoid this sort of gaffe in the future is limited.

No offense, it's just funny ;) Provocative titles are good, they create a debate. It's true that I was playing the devil's advocate.

Long title would be "Hey you Haskell guys, everybody is thrilled about node.js, why don't you explain how to achieve high scalability in Haskell without sacrificing the program structure. C'mon guys, I know you can!"

If Haskell is leading the way, they should have some response about node.js, right? Whether or not this can be mainstream and deployed everywhere is another question. I totally respect Haskeller position regarding the experimental/research status of the language.

But the SO post says nothing about anything "staying relevant." It's simply, "What is the Haskell response to Node.js?" with some follow-up.
