I think his two-week setup time is due to choosing to use libraries and architecture he didn’t understand or worked with before (rebase, fused-effects). I make webapps in Haskell and it takes me 5-10 minutes to setup a project, since I already know what to do.
- “The ‘monad’ abstraction is excellent for dealing with code with a lot of failure conditions (ie. parsing) and avoids ‘pyramid of doom’ type code. Haskell worked out really well in this key area.”
- “Another strong positive for writing Deadpendency was testing. Haskell has a lesser-known style of testing libraries that do ‘property based testing’ (PBT).”
- “Haskell is very safe to refactor thanks to the type safety the compiler brings, which is probably the most important thing.”
- “My core Haskell had very few logic bugs. This is because Haskell is very safe by default and I had opted into strict types that help catch edge cases”
- “At this point I think it is actually pretty stable. I consider the project a big success. A huge part of this has been due to Haskell and its excellent ecosystem.”
