[Haskell-cafe] Re: Libraries for Commercial Users

[David Leimbach]

I'm absolutely missing your point.

Here's an example.  I'm a commercial developer.  I need to create an SNMP
agent.  You show me Haskell, I point at Erlang.  Erlang wins for time to
market, and Haskell doesn't get to be part of the solution.

We need libraries.
