my biggest issue with the vast majority of PL APIs is discoverability. for the most part, they work best if you literally skim every class/type/function/method/module you can and just... know them. then there's Hoogle, which says "dream of a type and I shall provide a function."

ah I feel like you're right that many won't work that way. maybe Haskell benefits from being more "about types" than most languages so it works out better. no other PL tool has given me the same satisfaction though. it's unparalleled (in that type-oriented context).

I'd imagine you could get a similar experience for Koka for example! Effects being explicit makes this kind of search much easier.
