>There's no difference in practice either for a sufficiently small dataset.

So what happens in practice with unfortunately large datasets?

>Yes, Haskell can't help you escape the limitations of our world — or indeed our hardware — but it doesn't pretend to either

Then what is Haskell's value-proposition when it comes to solving real-world problems?



> So what happens in practice with unfortunately large datasets?

You take a different approach. Haskell provides plenty of options.

There are many. You can consult your favourite search engine to learn more.


>You take a different approach. Haskell provides plenty of options.

So do other languages. Why is Haskell special in this regard?

>There are many. You can consult your favourite search engine to learn more.

None that seem to address the problem of diminishing returns.


> So do other languages. Why is Haskell special in this regard?

I never suggested other programming languages don’t also have value. Again, if you want to educate yourself further on a specific technology’s benefits, I invite you to make use of a search engine instead of sea-lioning on a technical forum.

> None that seem to address the problem of diminishing returns.

That’s your opinion. Nobody is forcing you to like Haskell. You are free to just ignore it.
