Anyway, I wrote this large, rather ranting, blog post but then decided to not publish iti.

Randal, my suggestion to you is that you get someone like Don Stewart on FLOSS Weekly (I believe he is based in Portland as well) to discuss how Haskell’s advanced type system can be harnessed to completely remove whole classes of bugs.

  1. Randal, if you read this I’ll be happy to send the draft version of the post to you, just drop me an email :-)
