Why Haskell Still Matters in 2026

from The Programming Languages Podcast with Fexingo: Python, Rust, JavaScript, and Modern Coding · host Fexingo

Episode 19 explores Haskell's quiet but powerful role in 2026's software landscape. Lucas and Luna examine how this purely functional language, often seen as academic, is powering critical systems at companies like Facebook, GitHub, and Cardano. They discuss Haskell's unique strengths in correctness, concurrency, and domain-specific languages, and why it remains relevant despite competition from Rust and TypeScript. The episode also covers the latest GHC 9.12 release and the growing adoption of Haskell in fintech and blockchain. A concrete look at a language that refuses to fade away. #Haskell #FunctionalProgramming #PureFunctional #GHC #HaskellInProduction #SoftwareCraft #Technology #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #PodcastEpisode #ProgrammingLanguages2026 #Fintech #Blockchain #Cardano #Facebook #GitHub #DSL #GHC912 Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
