A rant about pain points in Haskell, written as a response to https://redd.it/7rwuxb

I started writing this polemic to answer your question, but I ended up touching on most of my gripes with Haskell in general, not just in a corporate context.

GHC

GHC is a modern compiler with an amazing RTS and tons of features, but I have some issues with it.

Monolithic and Hard to Contribute To

# unregister broken GHC packages. Run this a few times to resolve dependency rot in installed packages.
# ghc-pkg-clean -f cabal/dev/packages*.conf also works.

Isomorphic applications with mithril

Attention

This post described how to create an application with mithril 0.2.x. Now that ver 1.0 is out, some things are a little differnent.

The example is updated with the current version of mithril, though.

Anonymous records. A solution to the problems of record-system.

#Anonymous records. A solution to the problems of record-system.

Please, beware that the proposal that follows has been implemented as a library.

The current record system is notorious for three major flaws:

  1. It does not solve the namespacing problem. I.e., you cannot have two records sharing field names in a single module. E.g., the following won't compile:

data A = A { field :: String }
