I just switched over from Haskell to Typescript. I spent a lot of time in Haskell and the type system is great, the issues I ran were the stuff around it: an ecosystem often missing libraries available in other languages, Haskell solutionism, and working on code bases where Haskell language experts were empowered (not necessarily the best software engineers), which caused the company to re-invent a lot of services we could have just bought. I really do think Haskell is the world class typed functional programming language, but I'm also not convinced using typed FP is the panacea some claim it to be. Typed FP doesn't make up for bad architecture or poor dev practices, and it's still 100% possible to code your applications into a mess even with outstanding and talented devs. So right now I like Typescript, JS, the nvim support that took 20 minutes to set up and the incredible amount of libraries and dev tools. I've only been using typescript for a month or two, so maybe my opinion will change... |
