the thing that's odd to me is that you could write this exact same post about other languages - a person who learns Haskell ends up writing that exact same range/reduce/plus statement. Modern lisps like Racket or Clojure take you there. Forth programmers and Joy programmers already noticed that their two languages had converged: and they'd write basically exactly this, too. Really, it's only the "mainstream" languages that are different!
- TurboHaskal 7y agoA Common Lisp programmer would write it like that too. He would then disassemble the function, run away in terror and eventually come back to rewrite the whole thing with a more efficient loop expression.
- oblio 7y agoThat's an interesting take on things. Another one would be that ~40-50 million programmers do things one way and ~10000 (totally random guess) do it another way :-)
