I think the point in the space Glean hits well is efficiency/latency (enough to power real time editing, like in IDE autocomplete or navigation), while having a schema and query la…

Most clients hit the Glean server via the network (thrift/JSON) and then mostly via language bindings to the Glean query language, Angle. The shell is more for debugging/exploratio…

A bit of both I think.

We use this to power things like find-references or jump-to-def, "symbol search" and autocomplete, or more complicated code queries and analysis (even across languages). Imagine ri…

Solving NP hard problems efficiently.

And "eradicate" for Java... http://fbinfer.com/docs/eradicate.html we love types. They help us ship stuff faster.

Lumping state with some functions that implicitly have R/W access to that state is not possible in Haskell s/not possible/possible, but highly discouraged/

We have a typed version now - it's awesome

Yes, the tech is eating the rest of the business. You need less people after you've turned a lot of the business into an API. I've got four open positions at the moment.

How much is your time worth?

Habitually rewriting things in applicative and/or pointfree is a sure sign of a junior Haskell dev. One who has never had to maintain someone else's code. There are cases where it …

git was first released in April 2005. We (Haskell community) were using dvcs through darcs for about 2 years prior to that. dvcs made a lot of sense to the Haskell open source worl…

Yeah, it could well be that you just care about latency hiding on e.g. network services. For that raw compute and memory is much less important than having a reasonable thread sche…

It was fun creating 3M threads on my laptop back in the day. http://www.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/a4n7s/stackless... :) memories!

Faster and less memory intensive[1] and has a type system. [1]: http://benchmarksgame.alioth.debian.org/u64q/compare.php?lan...
