So, like so many others, I came across Haskell, and can't let go. True, I'm not a "Haskeller". True, I'm not even a professional. Sad, but true, Haskell won't earn me a buck.
You, lost soul, may have heard of Dolly Parton. I won't hold it against you if you haven't heard of Haskell Brooks Curry. You know, the two have little in common.
But as this blog is going to be mostly about Haskell, if you keep reading it, for sure, you'll have a fair share of my audacious hike. So I won't introduce you to it, at least, not right now.
Haskellers (geeks who speak the language) share one thing and that's what this post is about. You are welcome to take a guess what that might be.
What keeps that dream from becoming "reality"? There are some pretty hot reflective discussions going on about it, right now, in the haskell-cafe mailing list (Google it, and you can be a part of it, it's free, like most other master plans).
I reckon the issue has nothing to do with the language per se. You see, there are only two kinds of Haskellers: experts and novices. No middle ground. You can't set a plan like that into motion without dependable commoners.
But secret societies are usually brutally reactive, especially to the "generation gap", revolutions have a knack for get hijacked by the dearest protégés. The new compiler in the block, named YHC (they prefer Yhc, a sad obfuscation, neither an acronym, nor a command), is going to rock! YHC is not going to be a replacement of NHC, it will be different. Open source is going to pay off, finally (besides Debian).
