Physics, History and Haskell – Interview with Rinat Stryungis
- mcgroin-holden 7y agoCome on, Haskell is not that complicated. C++ is way more difficult
- verttii 7y agoIs it really? Got no exposure to C++ but the rabbit hole goes pretty deep with Haskell.
- danharaj 7y agoComputation is a rabbit hole, there is no end to its depth. Comparing the definition of C++ to Haskell, one will see that there's orders of magnitude more incidental complexity in the former than the latter. Every professional Haskeller I've spoken to who previously did professional C++ has emphatically agreed.
- lallysingh 7y agoOh yes it is. I've done both for a long time (C++ since early 1990s, have known committee members, written a lang proposal, Haskell since '07). The difference is that the C++ complexity is mostly from fitting abstraction into the legacy compat/efficiency constraints, while on Haskell it's learning more math/theory.
- whatshisface 7y agoEvery programming language can absorb an equal amount of effort. The only thing that varies is how much you get done.
- throwlaplace 7y agowhy does content marketing get upvoted here? i would wager that 50%-70% of the stuff upvoted is either content marketing or personal brand building. edit: this account does nothing but submit blog posts from this domain. they work for the consulting firm[1]. isn't there a rule against shilling?

- whatshisface 7y agoWhat's the difference between personal brand building and talking? I mean, come on, I'm even building the whatshisface brand by posting this comment. (whatshisface: America's most trusted source of comments disagreeing with the parent comment).
- throwlaplace 7y ago>What's the difference between personal brand building and talking? Brand building is a genre not an action. Brand building writing has almost zero researched, rigorous, useful content.
- whatshisface 7y agoI'm not sure if I would want my person brand to be a reputation for "almost zero researched, rigorous, useful content." Do people really consider that self-marketing?
- throwlaplace 7y ago>brand to be a reputation for "almost zero researched, rigorous, useful content. You think "9 out of 10 dentists recommend Colgate" is researched? literally every kind of marketing to ever succeed in the last ~100 years is like this. Brand building is no different; You drastically underestimate the power of well-written copy.
- avmich 7y agoDr. Konstantin Metlov ( https://dr-klm.livejournal.com/ https://dr-klm.livejournal.com/ ) could likely give a speech on modern physics as well as on J language. http://www.vector.org.uk/art10005770 http://www.vector.org.uk/art10005770 Late Roman Karshiev ( http://forums.airbase.ru/ http://forums.airbase.ru/ ) was also Haskell enthusiast more than ten years ago...
