Haskell Isn't for Everyone

And now I have another sad because Discourse has no sad face emoticon.
It has a "being poked in the butt" emoticon

Is that what you imagine when you see that? Oh dear.

Yes, it's the @algorythmics emoticon

Oh no, no it isn't. If you think it is... you haven't seen it yet.

I doubt that the Datalog survives into any real production compiler (maybe one of the weirder ones like GHC), but the datalog prototypes are often capable of handling very large, real-world programs.
Don't be too sure, except that the Datalog will probably be compiled into something else largely incomprehensible. Optimising compilers use some very high-grade techniques, since everything they do has to be provably correct or you get massive bugs introduced. (I'm playing with such a setup myself, where we've got a Datalog reasoner coupled to a BDD value model backed up with SQLite for a relational store. It's pretty impressive even though we're still playing on the shores of what it is capable of.)
Most big programs are largely trivial. They do lots of stuff, but the patterns they use are simplistic, and necessarily so: programmers still have to understand them.

Also, I disagree. I mean, it's a great concept in theory, but I'm pretty sure noone has ever written anything useful in Prolog.
Now that @boomzilla has exhumed the thread: The Erlang VM.

@Tsaukpaetra LOL, hadn't noticed this in FF before...
Ludicrous should be faster than 2x though...

Easy there, fuzzy little man peach!

Yeah, 2× could be just Ridiculous Speed.
