TODO: needs a better name!
I’ve been inspired to develop my on personal assistant ans a Discord bot since I saw this tweet from @jlongster.
My first attempt to it was using Calamity, a Haskell library to build Discord bots based on Polysemy. Here’s the code github.com/gillchristian/jarvis.
While the whole idea of Polysemy sounds good on paper, and even more son on a conference talk, in practice it makes for very indecipherable compiler errors, as if that’s not the case already with simple(ish) Haskell. And it also requires quite the learning curve.
Not so long ago that would’ve been the sole reason for me to pick a tech stack, but lately I started to value productivity and simplicity more.
