Evolution of Haskell

  • Haskell-related job postings have increased.
  • Haskell is more widespread in real world applications these days, and less of a cause for amazement.
  • A well-regarded global blockchain built in Haskell has raised Haskell’s profile outside the programmer/CS communities.
  • VS Code+Haskell extension+HLS is good enough now that programmers used to IDEs can do Haskell.
  • Performance-related tools and how-tos, as well as practical books for software engineers, have increased.
  • The Haskell Foundation, and corporate funding for Haskell, have grown (quite a lot ?)
  • There’s an excellent regular podcast, the Haskell Interlude
  • Stackage is now managed by the Haskell Foundation, and stack is one of the core haskell dev tools installable by ghcup, like cabal and ghc. Both stack/stackage and cabal/hackage have active chat rooms now and both tools are reasonably well accepted/tolerated by most people. The “wars” are over!?
