Not mentioned in the update is that the Haskell Foundation is moving towards a model that already exists within the OCaml Foundation. The HF and OF have the same challenge: a shallow pool of (relatively) large sponsors.

Of course big successful firms have more money to contribute, and we are thankful for them. This move, whereby the HF will deploy more of its financial resources on technical challenges directly, is meant to attract the other 99.9% of firms using Haskell in production. Many firms, including my own employer, have a more tit-for-tat view of sponsorship.

I have not played around with it to see how that plays out with agentic coding. But it does seem like an interesting idea.

To make this possible, the Haskell Foundation will remain without an executive director for the foreseeable future.

Instead of having a full-time employee in charge of fundraising, events, coordination, mediation and much more, we will split these responsibilities between the Board and a new, part-time role dedicated to the Haskell Foundation’s financial sustainability."

Sounds a great move in principle.

Slow build times, deployment to Linux when developing on macos still pain. Deployment is pain specially on commodity VPS.

Go is very easy to cross compile and deploy.

But Haskell is better for a few things, but I've hardtime deploying it
