I should write one of these for Haskell. Huffing abstractions is great for boring, line-of-business applications. Goroutines? Meh. Software transactional memory and green threads? Heck yeah. An actual type system? Chef's kiss. Scott Wlaschin from the F# world has written and talked extensively about F# for "boring" software. It works equally well in Haskell. You don't need to use type-level meta programming to spit out a basic service. Monads are a great honking idea, btw. | ||

Please don't, at least not mimicking the "edgy 13 year old thinks it comes across as cool" tone. | ||
