Well, sorry, I happen to be a lisp hacker and as such don't regularly follow other FP languages. But I googled it for you: https://wiki.haskell.org/Application

Well, sorry, I happen to be a lisp hacker and as such don't regularly follow other FP languages. But I googled it for you:

I still don't get the "aggressively unhelpful for games". FP does not mean "no state", just that state is expressed differently.
- clock_tower 10y agoIf you do Lisp, why are you fighting for Haskell? (For the aggressive unhelpfulness of Haskell, I mentioned that Pac-Man project -- and see my other posts in this thread.)
- jlg23 10y agoI don't fight for Haskell, I was hoping for an enlightening answer; since all I got was a referral (not a link) to another comment that again refers to some other thread (again without link) that apparently only provides anecdotal evidence based on one guy's story who had a hard time with his project I call it a day you a troll.
- clock_tower 10y agoCall me whatever you like, just don't make me use Haskell. The language makes my hair stand on end; it feels math-y and determinist, like the triumph of H.G. Wells and B.F. Skinner. I want nothing to do with it, and I fear the consequences if it spreads.
- codygman 10y ago> I fear the consequences if it spreads. What would those consequences be?
- clock_tower 10y agoDeterminism, libertarianism, Science!, that sort of thing. I suspect that Haskell creates a predisposition towards thinking that way...
