Too Long; Didn't Read

Haskell frequently appears on hackernews or /r/programming but the practicality does not come from strongly typed functional programming, it comes from the power of the language's runtime. Haskell has a full range of tooling to enable complex applications and building complex applications. Haskell is particularly powerful in killing a thread using an exception from outside of it to kill it is not required to modify the thread or function itself. Asynchronous IO multiplexing combined with a low level of parallelism is how services such as NGINX attain high performance.
