#2Thanks for the overview Simon, great to hear about the use of Haskell at scale. At CircuitHub we use Haskell to build our entire web app, Haskell is great for most tasks these days.

#3Facebook censors so much and swaps out links. I can't even post a link to https://scientificamerica.com. Their SSL cert is weak and should not be trusted. It is swapped out for phishing scams.

#4I am under the impression that a large part of engineering effort at established companies go into porting existing components to a deemed to be more appropriate language for that task.
Is it plain impossible to pick the best fit language without implementing a solution in the first place and fleshing out the requirements and challenges that specific to the problem space? Or do the problems evolve fast enough that no matter how well you design the system, it will need to be deprecated once in a few years?

#5And two GHC bugs fixed along the way. Well done everyone.

#6How does the hot-swapping work? The only way I had seen of making this happen is what xmonad does. I'm assuming this is radically different from that.

Did you use a particular framework? I've been greatly enjoying my 4th attempt at learning Haskell (I think only now am I seasoned enough to really get it), and my general proof that I know something and can use it usefully is to develop a web app (as all apps are now anyways). However, I didn't find anything which looked like it had majority community buy-in unlike Rails/Sinatra/Flask et al.

Yesod is the most actively developed and popular web framework for Haskell.

Could be simply that time uncovers better solutions to the same problems, which triggers the need of porting.
