| May 7, 2015 at 22:38 | comment | added | user7043 | Twenty years ago, Haskell was only five years old and the design was still being iterated on. The first standard that remained active for a long time was "Haskell 98", which is only 17 years old (as the name indicates). Serious original research based on Haskell, which is responsible for many of the really cool features, probably hadn't even really started back then. (I'm nitpicking, the question remains valid when you dock it down from twenty to fifteen or ten years.) | |
| May 7, 2015 at 22:34 | comment | added | Robert Harvey | What's not to like? Haskell takes a rigorous mathematical approach to programming that attempts to improve the language's ability to prove your program's correctness. Its type system is designed to catch many more errors than a typical "strongly-typed" language. | |
| May 7, 2015 at 22:12 | comment | added | Karl Bielefeldt | I think this might be confirmation bias. Tiobe (a decent indicator of what languages people are "talking about"), puts F#, ML, Scala, Scheme, and Erlang ahead of Haskell among functional languages. | |
