Ah well. I haven’t used java in 20ish years. Maybe it’s awesome now.

Afaict the language has improved, but every app I've tried to run feels like it has the acceleration and turning circle of a semitrailer.

the problem with taking java jobs is that it means you're working with people who think java is a good idea.

Only for want of a necessary alternative. Some are quite agnostic, really. Getting too excited about this stuff is like going back to the bloody Nintendo vs Sega schoolyard wars. Fistman understands.

let me rephrase, then: people who think java is an acceptable solution :) I don't think your simile is much good - the java people don't even know what haskell is apart from uninformed jokes about monads.

Tbh I think the only haskell apostates I know are
@deech and@ngnghm. Maybe@DRMacIver - and even then, I think their stance is more "this isn't appropriate for everything" than outright rejection.4 replies 0 retweets 3 likes -
How can I be a Haskell apostate, when I was never a Haskell believer? Sorry, but the church I don't go to is that of Common Lisp. (I also am not "java people" though I was once paid to write Java and very unhappy about it.)

Also, the richly strongly statically typed language I currently use and like to hate is OCaml, not Haskell. Not sure this was a better (or worse) choice, though it did make sense at the time.
