I'm not sure "upset" is the right word but what I object to is your repeated mischaracterisations and misunderstandings of Haskell, especially of how it is used by industry programmers.
- pron 9y agoWhat are you talking about? And I object to false claims that pure FP is somehow "better designed" than other approaches (which is how this entire discussion started). Design is a matter of aesthetics (completely subjective) and pragmatics (also subjective, but can be measured empirically) -- not theory -- and aesthetics and pragmatics are the sources of value -- again, not theory.
