Avi Press's personal blog at avi.press covers programming and systems. Since 2024, 3 different Hacker News readers have linked it 4 times, most often “Scarf has moved away from Haskell”. No feed was found, so read it on the site itself.
Too few sampled comments (2) to say how often HN recommends it.?
Why HN links it
HN readers link Avi Press's post on Scarf moving from Haskell to Python after seven years in production, citing faster iteration with LLM coding tools. Comments cite it as support for their own points.
Summarised by Claude from a sample of 2 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.

What Hacker News says?
I recently saw a blog post [1] about a famous Haskel shop moving away from Haskell to Python because the iteration speed with LLMs was just that much better. There is so much React in training data, TS compile times are minimal compared to Rust and similar. I suspect user facing/fast moving code (UX layer) will move to dynamic systems with fast iteration times. Infra layer will move towards safe systems level enviro…
