> They rant against and mock everything deemed inferior. They treat people like they're idiots for not understanding basic but unfamiliar principles of the language. And nobody ever seems to shut them down, despite the fact that the majority are pretty welcoming.
I'm happy to try to shut them down but I've pretty much never seen it (perhaps because I'm not in those other communities). If you do, please point me to it. Contact details here: http://web.jaguarpaw.co.uk/~tom/contact/ http://web.jaguarpaw.co.uk/~tom/contact/
- nv-vn 11y agoThere were a few big controversies on Twitter and Reddit that I can recall. In one instance in particular, someone called out some Haskell users trying to make Haskell look better by publishing code examples of common algorithms that "cheated" (i.e. the Haskell quicksort that's so popularly paraded around isnt a true quicksort). After the person argued this, they were banned from the Haskell subreddit.
- tome 11y agoCan you link me to that? I find it very hard to believe that someone would be banned from the Haskell subreddit for (correctly) pointing out that what has (curiously) entered Haskell lore as Quicksort is not really Quicksort. We all know this.
