Haskell is a complete joke when it comes to practicality. The developer tool stack sucks, the defacto standard compiler is grindingly slow and horribly badly written and virtually impossible to build much less develop, the REPL is a toy, the libraries are atrocious and the community consists almost entirely of smug weenies.

In contrast, the OCaml community are quieter because they spend their time solving real problems and shipping production code rather than publishing research papers about The Sieve of Eratosthenes (see Page on hmc.edu). Oh, and they're honest.

OCaml has had very solid support for concurrency for over 15 years now. In fact, 15 years ago the heavily concurrent MLDonkey peer-to-peer file sharing client had hundreds of thousands of users (that's probably more users than all Haskell programs ever written combined). No similar success story exists for Haskell.

Haskell has a huge number of very poor quality libraries. OCaml has far fewer but much higher quality libraries. If you want linear algebra then OCaml has lacaml. If you want fourier transforms then OCaml has FFTW. Incidentally, FFTW provides the fourier transform routines used in MATLAB which has millions of users and it is written in OCaml. No similar success story exists for Haskell. OCaml is vastly superior when it comes to parsing, with many extremely high quality parser generators available mostly along the lines of standard industrial tools like lex and yacc (ocamllex, ocamlyacc, menhir, dypgen, camlp4). I'm not sure Haskell has any such tools and most developers use a quirky parser combinator library called Parsec that is quite simply shit. To give you some idea, I wrote a Mathematica parser using lex and yacc in OCaml and Wolfram Research bought it. I tried to write the same parser using Parsec and found it to be a nightmare in comparison and nobody is going to pay for that.

what use is there for java outside servers?

This. Haskell is overcomplicated and unclean. Anyone that likes it should kill themselves.

>>55918018
Kurva anyàd.

Stop maymaying, that is the most modern distro nowadays with a great support by a non-Jewish company.

>>55918018
it doesn't have enough flaws to give it "character" so no one want to use it. Everyone on /g/ is looking for something to kill time, not something that can actually be used in productivity.

I have a morphine habit and tried to fuck my sister once.

regular end users should never know these exist

Should have just thrown a Rattata.

I mean safe from normies I don't care about all the degenerate shit.

You might as well cite GNOME as a whole.

Canonical isn't that bad really

Wait, is everyone already on GPT?

Why would people not be using GPT? You like being limited to 4 primary partitions?

I've only ever put all my shit on one partition anyway

Did that once with the offices' vending machine. And it worked lmao.

/g/ is full of poor-fags buying thinkpaks and chinese phones because it's cheap

>>55917574
The first fairphone was pretty cheap iirc, the second one is moderately priced. €530.

>>55917497
has some feelgood bullshit, but it's not more open or featureful as most other phones. all open source is certainly not true

why do you give a fuck what other people's choice of phone is?

>>55917752
you do when you work in the technology field and some faggot comes asking retarded questions, an Iphone is a good way to know you should avoid that person

>>55919910
yep, you are just retarded. Iphone was created for ppl who don't give a fuck about spec. All "I" products must look and be easy to use. All you need to do after buy it is use. Andorid is other story. You can beat Iphone spec but you need just a little knowledge about it, iphone not.

You can make computer programs with it.

Yes, Haskell is a general-purpose programming language.

>>55917493
Everyone who knows Haskell will argue that it is the "best" programming language, and I do like to think, but I dont want to feel like I learned a language just as a thought excercise.

Any Haskell users want to defend the language?

If you're interested in learning about Haskell, there are better places to do that than /g/

Isn't there an entire window manager that runs on haskell?

>>55917449
