Best of luck. Let me know if any of your projects gain any traction.


Hm, both git annex and pandoc already have traction for their respective use-cases.


It's a shame to see that comment getting modded down. It's absolutely valid and correct. The three examples given in that other comment are pretty much unknown. xmonad might be a slightly better example, but it's still pretty much unknown, too.

While Haskell has seen some usage, of course, we really haven't seen any major and widely-used non-compiler software developed using it. It's perfectly legitimate to point this out, and using very obscure counterexamples doesn't change this reality.


I don't use or know about any of the other tools mentioned, but Pandoc isn't exactly someone's pet project.

It may be niche, but it's not unknown. If you need to convert markdown/rest/latex/etc to pdf/html/epub/etc, Pandoc's gonna come up.


> It's perfectly legitimate to point this out

There's a difference between pointing it out and being a jerk while pointing it out.

Hence the downvotes.
