ok OCaml isn't multicore and that's daft

and parallelism in haskell is way easier so I guess I'll do this in haskell.

my main concern is that haskell isn't suitable for low latency applications? but we'll find out, I guess

@cq I love haskell!!!!

but... I've used it for every project I've done in the past 2.5 years...

@lucidiot@tiny.tilde.website *blushes*

trying to decide whether I do this project in OCaml or haskell

pros of OCaml
* practical usage of a language I'm learning
* it seems very suited to the project
* it's a cool language that deserves more projects

cons of OCaml
* it hasn't got some of the nice features of haskell (really good interactive mode, typeclasses, seperation of side effects)
* setting up the toolchain took me a while, which is a barrier to entry if anyone ends up wanting to help with this project

let me just scrute this academic paper

@witchfynder_finder there's a typology class at my uni!

@witchfynder_finder I was just about to reply with this! it's pretty neat!

@Violet oh gosh.. I hope they can!

@squirrel I care...

@squirrel I'm sorry

@squirrel it's ok

*offers hugs*

@turbodragon it's spooky here
