haxl VS fslang-suggestions

Sounds a bit like Haxl. From this page:

+1. The JS event loop auto-monad-izing Promises into Haxl [1]-esqe trees of implicitly-batched loads has been a big win for us building on JavaScript/TypeScript.

If I had to move to another language, I'd really want to find a "powered by the event loop / dataloader" framework, i.e. Vert.x for Java.

Also, per dataloader, a shameless plug for our ORM that has dataloader de-N+1-ing built natively into all object graph traversals:

and Haxl

Haxl, a framework for efficient and concise data fetching.

You mean, Haxl? [1] But AFAIK only a few devs are involved for the development.

Probably, the most googled and well-known example of Haskell application in major companies is the Facebook Meta spam filters. Messages containing spam, links to potential malware and phishing attacks are filtered by Sigma, the system that was rewritten in Haskell in 2015. The choice of language was based, among other things, on performance requirements, the need for pure functions and static typing, as well as the possibility of interactive development. The Haxl framework is used under the bonnet, which the company has open-sourced. You can find more details about the development process and technical aspects in the company’s blog post.

Their GitHub still seems pretty active https://github.com/facebook/Haxl

Since you mention Any real-world application uses a database or seventeen in the backend, it's probably worth checking out https://github.com/facebook/Haxl as its goal is to allow you to write high-level queries in Haskell and have the library call out to different datasources as efficiently as possible.

Trying to extend this https://github.com/fsharp/fslang-suggestions/issues/1089 to have two generics:

Basically, what I've made in Spiral. There is even a F# issue to improve the syntax.

Not currently supported but it's an open language suggestion that's likely to end up in F#. https://github.com/fsharp/fslang-suggestions/issues/506

Re: the argument accessor shorthand, there seems to be a proposal for exactly that (using _ instead of &): https://github.com/fsharp/fslang-suggestions/issues/506#issu...

I found this post (https://github.com/fsharp/fslang-suggestions/issues/975) which is about the same thing, but I'm confused as to what the final resolution was. There was mention of a taskSeq, but I can't find much info on that.

An issue in FSharp suggestions

F# doesn’t currently seem to support source generators.

"Blessed" literals: only FSharp.List and System.Array have a built-in collection syntax in the language ([ ] and [| |]). Only FSharp.List has a special pattern matching constructor (::). The language itself shouldn't favor a particular type over another: it should be possible, at the library level, to write the same code but using different collection types (related discussion here).

I mostly write F# so I can only speak for F#, but if you want you can create a module which extends Seq to add the OCaml names. I suspect the same is possible in OCaml. The authors are not trying to impede compatibility, but compatibility is not a goal. If you value compatibility, or adhering to ML norms, and you use F#, I recommend you (kindly) advocate for it in relevant issues on the F# language discussion repo. https://github.com/fsharp/fslang-suggestions/issues
