USING HASKELL AT AMD Monads are a simple idea but they are not easy to explain and use in practice. At least for many people. – Originally looking at Garrett‟s Monad transformers I said it seemed complicated. His response was “ you need to look at them sideways”! (He was right ) Haskell is not the Miranda that I learned as an undergraduate, it is big and a lot of very complicated type theory stuff. Really scary for many people! – Benjamin C.

USING HASKELL AT AMD Many Universities in the US do not teach Haskell! Perception of Haskell is often low: – “You probably know every Haskell programmer” – “Why not use Python or …” Finally, it is not easy to find interns with the required Haskell experience to work on these kinds of projects. To be fair no one has said don’t use Haskell! 51 | Making OpenCL Simple | January, 2011 | Public
