, but it's nice for static source analysis - and when someone decides they want to compile a new language to the ERTS, the package is ready... Regards, Alex Kropivny ___ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman

Short answer: no, and what it gives is quite different. Long answer: Erlang gives me two things that are hard to replicate: 1. firm-realtime performance, even at high load: the distributed GC is very nice 2. a very well defined model for handling, and recovering from failure Hot code reload is

Let's look at this from a high, project management level. Twitter ran on... Ruby initially? Facebook ran on PHP. Immediately this tells me that programming language choice wasn't a factor in their success. One succeeded in building a large throughput system with a slow language, the other

: That's interesting, have you ever worked on interfacing Erlang with Haskell? BTW, Twitter switched to Scala, so obviously their initial choice of Ruby end up invalidated. 2011/10/21 Alex Kropivny alex.kropi...@gmail.com Let's look at this from a high, project management level. Twitter ran

Regardless of how crazy it sounds, an idea from Joe Armstrong is worth seriously thinking over. This has bugged me before: think about how we design and write code as project size, or programmer skill grows. You start with composing statements inside a single function; later, you start to compose

Could something like code abstraction be done instead? Haskell lends itself to solving problems in really generic, high level ways that reveal a LOT about the underlying problem structure. Through some combination of descriptive data types, generic type classes, and generic helper functions...

The previous AI challenge (tron) was a lot of fun. I suspect the experience they gained from running the last one, will make this an exciting contest. Haskell fared well in the last contest, despite it favouring fast C/C++ implementations due to a focus on classic minimax/pruning. The current
