8 months of OCaml after 8 years of Haskell in production

That’d be a very unfair comparison […]

You mean like the ones I’ve responded to here:

  • http://discourse.haskell.org/t/one-billion-row-challenge-in-hs/8946/199

  • http://discourse.haskell.org/t/pre-hftp-ghc-should-offer-low-level-logging-infrastructure/9159/27

  • http://discourse.haskell.org/t/since-haskell-has-linear-types-so-we-can-track-resources-why-cant-we-disable-the-gc-like-in-ats/7951/8

where:

  • Haskell is being compared to some ol’ warhorse,

  • or Haskell should have some (more) of its “features” *

…amongst others? Yeah, this Discourse seems to have a great many unfair comparisons.


* …apart from it’s style of records, apparently.
