2025-05-07 08:33:15 +0200 <dminuoso> And as with nix, there may be odd cases where reproducability has been an issue.
2025-05-07 08:33:15 +0200 <haskellbridge> <Bowuigi> sm np lol, I don't see much of a discussion though
2025-05-07 08:32:00 +0200 <dminuoso> They help in some situations where you have developers with less-than-ideal discipline
2025-05-07 08:31:34 +0200 <dminuoso> That is, effect systems dont fix bad libraries.

2025-05-07 08:31:13 +0200 <haskellbridge> <maerwald> lmao
2025-05-07 08:31:03 +0200 <dminuoso> Just dont use piss poor libraries that do network calls in the middle ofyour $(makeFromJSON) ?
2025-05-07 08:30:52 +0200 <haskellbridge> <maerwald> writing Haskell code like in the 90s
2025-05-07 08:30:48 +0200 <dminuoso> maerwald: ultimately, if you are suggesting you have a library that induces 90% reproducability in TH splices, then effect systems are not the right choice

2025-05-07 08:30:33 +0200 <haskellbridge> <maerwald> dminuoso: So you're an IO maximalist
2025-05-07 08:30:33 +0200 <haskellbridge> <sm> oops did I say that out loud. Sorry Bowuigi :)
2025-05-07 08:30:07 +0200 <haskellbridge> <sm> we're arguing about what's best, you fool!
2025-05-07 08:30:00 +0200 <dminuoso> Much like PHp.
2025-05-07 08:29:58 +0200 <dminuoso> Transformer stacks are, in my opinion, just an experiment gone wild and spread around.
2025-05-07 08:29:47 +0200 <haskellbridge> <Bowuigi> I don't have enough computers to worry about reproducibility, or enough effects to worry about effect systems, but if you do, why not use the best tools available?
2025-05-07 08:29:35 +0200 <dminuoso> Well I wouldn't use mtl/transformers except for some local tricks
2025-05-07 08:29:30 +0200 <haskellbridge> <maerwald> where in mtl/transformers you have to consciously think about the different stacks all the time
2025-05-07 08:29:10 +0200 <haskellbridge> <maerwald> yes, if you compare it to e.g. mtl/transformers, then it's clear that it's more composable
2025-05-07 08:28:43 +0200 <haskellbridge> <sm> the goal is usually controlled composability, not a big ball of mud
2025-05-07 08:28:27 +0200 <haskellbridge> <maerwald> dminuoso: Yes, bluefin is just IO under the hood
2025-05-07 08:28:09 +0200 <dminuoso> But it begs the question if the number of bad programs filtered out if worth the pain.
2025-05-07 08:27:40 +0200 <dminuoso> In hopes of filtering out more bad programs than it filters out good programs.
2025-05-07 08:27:18 +0200 <dminuoso> effect systems exist *precisely* because they reduce composability.
2025-05-07 08:27:01 +0200 <dminuoso> If that was true IO would be the ideal solution as it is maximally composable.
2025-05-07 08:26:48 +0200 <haskellbridge> <maerwald> not that I use any
2025-05-07 08:26:28 +0200 <haskellbridge> <maerwald> it's composability
2025-05-07 08:26:22 +0200 <haskellbridge> <maerwald> the main selling points of effects systems isn't even avoiding bugs

2025-05-07 08:24:16 +0200 <haskellbridge> <sm> soo.. don't rewrite TH with bluefin/effectful then ? Too much ?
2025-05-07 08:24:16 +0200 <dminuoso> And Haskell is great as a playground to do these experiments.
2025-05-07 08:23:55 +0200 <dminuoso> And honestly, Ive been on that side. I had a phase where I made loads of type tricks to solve contrived bugs that I never had, and then felt good about how I had code provably absent of bugs (that I never had)
2025-05-07 08:23:38 +0200 <haskellbridge> <maerwald> dminuoso: sounds like you're ok if my libraries work correctly 90% of the time. So I guess you don't mind if you get broken filepaths now and then

2025-05-07 08:23:00 +0200 <dminuoso> Or they introduce anecdotes..
2025-05-07 08:22:55 +0200 <JuanDaugherty> inventory isn even cattle

2025-05-07 08:22:27 +0200 <haskellbridge> <sm> yup.. with bash.. (I feel like a cave man, but so be it 😂)
2025-05-07 08:22:12 +0200 <dminuoso> People sell effect systems/deterministic things by bringing up far fetched and contrived problems, and then they go a long way to explain how their solution addresses that problem, and how bad it would be if this problem ever affected you.
2025-05-07 08:21:54 +0200 <haskellbridge> <maerwald> and spawn a new one
2025-05-07 08:21:47 +0200 <haskellbridge> <maerwald> you should treat servers like cattle, not like a child... if it misbehaves... shoot it
2025-05-07 08:21:25 +0200haskellbridgesm too, but didn't keep it

2025-05-07 08:20:57 +0200 <haskellbridge> <maerwald> sm: I used that one in prod. Not a fan
2025-05-07 08:20:43 +0200 <haskellbridge> <maerwald> dminuoso: are you at ZuriHac?
2025-05-07 08:20:34 +0200 <haskellbridge> <sm> (anyone using https://hackage.haskell.org/package/propellor ?)
2025-05-07 08:20:05 +0200 <haskellbridge> <Bowuigi> maerwald no I mean give them specific, deterministic and reproducible results without actually doing IO
2025-05-07 08:19:48 +0200 <haskellbridge> <sm> bash setup scripts are the next step for me

2025-05-07 08:18:38 +0200 <haskellbridge> <sm> yes, I haven't touched these for years and there's a lot to relearn
