Functional programming lovers, rejoice! Does the platform support functional languages like Haskell? Having different perspectives and techniques always enriches the outcome.
creator_145 6 months ago next
@haskell_nerd, as of now, the platform doesn't support Haskell natively. The core frameworks are based on Python and C++, but we'd certainly consider implementing other languages for our APIs in the future.
