had a nightmare that my devs got really back into functional programming and wanted to use it again on projects, awful

if something breaks over the weekend while they're off rock climbing or whatever they do i'm gonna be stuck there being like "ok so... how does.... how does this work"

fun story when @cbeav and I tried to build a startup he convinced me to build the backend in haskell

gotta say it was quite fun

@farcaster dev / dad / books, cooks, ski, code ~ there are many things of which a wise man might wish to be ignorant

i will die on the hill that i’ve never slept better at night than when shipping haskell. only weekend nightmare i could really conceive of would be some usage spike causing perf problems that might not be obvious to triage if youre not deep in the koolaid. but even those are almost always a dumb query somewhere and you can get most of what you need from DB analytics sooo idk man its a perfect language

ugh i was at a .net shop when F# got popular, dark dark times
