Why do you use OrderedDict for now that regular dicts are ordered by default?

I think Twitter is down 60% in advertisers and 30% in users? Elon personality is part of it, but losing so many people handling community, clients, institutions… I am sure the company has lost most of its institutional knowledge.

Pandoc/Quarto markdown gives you most of these.

In my experience, it rarely really matters fine control. If the effort is too big to tweak the templates/markdown you export it to an intermediate state (LaTeX/Office/whatever) and drop the original markdown source.

There is no lock-in.

That’s the US perspective. But globally the final of the World Cup (which Messi played) was seen by more than 1.5B people (compared to <200M in the Super Bowl). It is a big name.

I took a look at Yesod and looks more like Haskell’s Sinatra and comes 6 years later than Rails, in 2010. By 2010 a simple web frameworm is table stakes, no huge differentiator.

I am not a user of the language (although I learned it like you). I just came to chime in that (a) there is at least one very popular software written in Haskell and (b) Haskell seems to ship a good amount of software for its popularity.

Haskell never got the “killer framework” like Rails or Spark that allowed to become more mainstream, even if it was teached in Universities all over the world.

> nor have I ever seen a program that I use, written in it

The only mass market Haskell software that I know of is Pandoc. Others like Shellcheck and Postgrest are popular in their niche.

I am not sure that Haskell is faring worse that other programming languages in its level of popularity, like Julia, Clojure or Erlang.

Funny enough, historically anarchists have been called libertarians and were not against institutions and governance per se. Maybe you are caricaturing a bunch of movements that you do not agree with or are not well informed about?

Waymo is not Google. And Deepmind operated quite independently until not long ago.
