Re: [Haskell-cafe] can Haskell do everyting as we want?

As already noted here, Haskell is a general purpose language, but you should take it with a grain of salt. For instance, you can nail with a laptop (provided that you hit the place where a HDD is located), but you prefer a hammer :) One thing is if you do it only for enjoyment, in this case you ca

It is ironic, but after reading your paper - "Experience Report: Haskell in the Real World", I doubt I'll use Haskell for a performance critical systems. Laziness (and understanding it) is one factor, but there is also GC, which is a real hassle, especially in embedded/mobile systems for a near re

It depends on the type of a position. If it is a "one-shot"/contract job then you are looking for the concrete skillset/expertise, i.e. "Haskell". For relatively longterm or permanent positions I think it is better to give a priority to smart and "getting things done" type of persons rather than s

Maybe it is because deleteBy is defined wrongly? i.e. it is not logical, doesn't follow the common sense user might expect. It accepts any predicate but narrows requirements only in docs. Maybe best could be to just take a value for comparison and use "==" against it? ("overloaded" or "built-in"

Hello, Is it possible to run haskell program in emacs without typing "main" in the ghci buffer? Assuming "main" function exists of course. Or, maybe automate sending "main\n" string to ghci buffer input. In other words, I want edit/run/see result style session. Thanks in advance, Zura -- View t
