Re: [Haskell-cafe] Opportunity for Haskell porting to java at RD labs in Bay Area, CA
given all Oracle woes in the last few months, I'd say this is a terrible timing and terrible decision. How about instead an experienced Haskell programmer to best leverage it rather than a junior who's learned java at university and has just read Learn Haskell in 2 weeks?

Just when I thought, oh, there are two definitions for scripting
language, another one pops out. So scripting languages can be three
things:
1) A language for controlling ('scripting') an application (e.g. TCL, VBA)
2) A language for controlling the running of various applications
(e.g. shell scripts)
3) An agile language for making short programs (e.g. Perl)
More definitions of scripting language:
a) too slow to do real work
b) Also they don't scale well
I think Haskell can be fast enough to do 'real work', and although I
haven't really written any large programs in Haskell, I don't see why it
should scale worse than other languages.
here's another definition:
a script is what you give the actors, but a program is what you give
the audience
-- Ada Lovelace according to Larry Wall
http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Larry_Wall#The_State_of_the_Onion_11
Like most Larry quotes, it is immediately loveable.
one of Haskell creators calls Haskell an advanced scripting language:

It's surely more than enough to Haskell, Python, Perl, C++ and other very concise and expressive languages.

Re: Is 78 characters still a good option? Was: [Haskell-cafe] breaking too long lines
2009/4/21 Edward Kmett ekm...@gmail.com: I find a hard 80 character line length limit to be somewhat ridiculous in this day and age. I've long since revised my personal rule of thumb upwards towards 132, if only because I can still show two windows of that side by side with no worries, along with all the IDE browsing baggage, even on a fairly crippled laptop, and I've been able to have 132 columns since I picked up my first vt220 terminal in 1984 or so. Good catch. But here's another: modern day IDEs like Eclipse or Netbeans offer so friggin' many features all in-you-face at the same time that the puny window reserved for code may be very well in the 80-chars limit anyway. ;) ___ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
