Which program language would most excite you to want to contribute to an open-source project, all else being equal?
#programming #software #softwareengineering #ruby #haskell #java #python #science
This poll has me thinking about abandoning the Ruby choice (what I was going to go with)... leaning towards Haskell now. Python maybe too but it is the least enjoyable of the 4 for me...
@billstclair well there were almost half the votes for Haskell. As for if I prefered it, not really. I prefered ruby, since performance is critical for what I'm doing I figured it would be the best compromise between a language I can enjoy and optimize well with my current skill set as well as, I had hoped, being popular.
But since Python and Haskell were the only two with any significant votes it encourages me to pick one of those two. Between the two I would much prefer Haskell over Python even though my skill in Python and ability to optimize would be much higher. but in terms of just what would be most fun, that would be haskell.
I have tried lisp before. I dont enjoy it but technically speaking I would find it to be a comparable choice to Haskell in many ways obviously.
Not surprised. Python has highly optimized libraries to script the use of.
Haskell compiles into C, so I'd guess it wins performance here on code that isn't mostly in those Python libraries, but Haskell is weird. You get used to it.
