There is something really elegant about #Haskell, and its isolation of "pure" functions (which can't perform I/O) from impure functions, as well as general data immutability, make for nice designs that are easy to reason about, and excellent recursion handling also feeds into that.
That said, memory usage in Haskell can be hard to reason about, and Rust gives some of those guarantees with its "mut" keyword.
I do a lot of systems programming, so would mostly go for Rust these days.
I’ve been on Fedi for a year now and have fallen in love with the platform, so here’s my introduction! I studied computer science with a focus on RTOS and FP/PL, but I’m about to start my final semester of law school. I’ll be practicing at a boutique firm that primarily handles IP cases once I’m barred. I foilboard and I play way too many rhythm games in and out of the arcade.
I contribute to open source projects where I can, and I write up my experience in my digital garden which I’ve been maintaining for over a year now. It’s also a good place to find usage tips for projects/tools that you might want to use.
My passion for tech also includes privacy, and I’m an advocate for minimizing your digital footprint. GenAI is a scam and its purveyors are causing real harm while they sell it as hard as they can.
