Learn Haskell. What about xmonad?

Name: Anonymous 2009-10-16 4:24

Yes, what about it?

Nothing about it, live it alon!

rEAD yaht (http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Haskell/YAHT). xMONAD IS EASY TO SET UP. gET A HASKELL IMPLEMENTATION WORKING ON YOUR COMP (http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/Implementations), THEN DARCS http://darcs.net/, WHICH IS ABLE TO INSTALL VARIOUS OTHER GOODIES TO YOUR COMP EXCEPT XMONAD, JUST READ THE DOCS. oNCE YOU'VE ACQUIRED XMONAD, READ (http://xmonad.org/documentation.html).

(i'D RATHER USE EMACS!)

Xmonad has the crippling weakness of not being written in C.

LINUX HERE, HASKELL IS A KATAMARI DAMACY

Or rather, it has the crippling weakness of being written by people who wouldn't use C to write a window manager. The language itself is incidental.

dON'T WORRY op, >>5 AND >>6 PROBABLY HAVEN'T EVEN INITIALIZED THE X SYSTEM FORM THEIR APPS DIRECTLY.

*raises eyebrow* Something wrong?

The syntax perhaps.

Really, Haskell's syntax is just excruciating and constantly getting in the way. There is just NO REASON for it to have so much special-purpose syntax and so many different operators and keywords (even more than C++).

It's all sugar though, you don't have to use most of it.

All of the crazy made-up operators are just sugar?

The purpose is to make things readable. It must suck to have deficient comprehensions skills like yours

It must suck to have deficient grammer skillz like yours

It must feel terrible to make ad-hominem attacks like yours, instead of actually admitting that Haskell is a gay!!

Yeah, it's bizarre that so many otherwise intelligent people are willing to navigate Haskell's mazelike syntax. Back to Lisp, I guess.

I'm still waiting to find a time to use my HASKELL SKILLZ!!!!  It's honestly a fun language with painful syntax that you will never use.
