Some thoughts on building software

Lately I have been busy reading some new books on Domain Driven Design (DDD) and software architecture -- including a short yet eye-opening one in Python and a great one in F#. At the same time, it seems that more people in the Functional Programming world are looking at more formal approaches to modelling -- some examples here. This has brought some thought from the background of my brain about how we should model, organize, and architect software using the lessons we've learnt from functional programming.

Before moving on, let me be clear about this being just a dump of some thoughts, not always well-defined, definite

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.

Disclaimer 1: Type classes are great but they are not the right tool for every job. Enjoy some balance and balance to your balance.

Disclaimer 2: I should tidy this up but probably won’t.

Disclaimer 3: Yeah called it, better to be realistic.

Type classes are a language of their own, this is an attempt to document features and give a name to them.
