No more headaches.

I'm giving up on Haskell.
It's too hard. I just want to write applications that do stuff. Not theorize about how they work and proving whether they work and all that.
Not a bad word about it otherwise though. It's a great language to read, because once you know the syntax, it's actually very easy to read.

It was a good eye-opener for me. but I'm not convinced I need something more practical.

Sticking with functional programming languages though, I'm now going to give Erlang a try. Wish me luck!

(this is turning out to be the quest for the holy gr..programming language. It doesn't exist, but I'm going to look for it anyway! :p)

Best of luck with Erlang! Thanks for the Haskell posts.

I'm happy to be the Bringer Of Good News: the holy language you are looking for does exist, and it is called D!
