Apache Groovy vs. Haskell vs. Python vs. TaffyDB Comparison Chart

Every expression in Haskell has a type that is determined at compile time. All the types composed together by function application have to match up. If they don't, the program will be rejected by the compiler. Types become not only a form of guarantee, but a language for expressing the construction of programs. Every function in Haskell is a function in the mathematical sense (i.e., "pure"). Even side-effecting IO operations are but a description of what to do, produced by pure code. There are no statements or instructions, only expressions that cannot mutate variables (local or global) nor access state like time or random numbers. You don't have to explicitly write out every type in a Haskell program. Types will be inferred by unifying every type bidirectionally. However, you can write out types if you choose, or ask the compiler to write them for you for handy documentation.

​TaffyDB is an open source JavaScript library that brings powerful database functionality into your JavaScript applications. It offers a small file size with extremely fast queries and a powerful JavaScript-centric data selection engine. TaffyDB includes database-inspired features such as count, update, and insert, and provides robust cross-browser support. It is easily extended with your own functions and is compatible with any DOM library, as well as server-side JavaScript. Creating a database is straightforward, you can create a new empty database, a database with a single object, an array, or a JSON string. Once you have a database, you can run queries against it by calling the root function and building filter objects. TaffyDB allows you to filter using the database name and object comparison, access data easily, and modify data on the fly. You can also use functions to give you full control over the results of your query.
