A discussion of the Haskell type system is not what I expected when clicking that link.
- neals 6y agoBe honest, what was your very first thought?
- searchableguy 6y agoI did think it was related to functional programming but wasn't entirely sure. It's HN and Americans are asleep, there are less politics and cultural articles. Kindness may be referring to higher kinded types and for mean girls probably just forced lingo to refer to people who don't take kindly to functional programming and types.
- rogual 6y agoI thought it was going to be a piece in favour of showing kindness to people who themselves are mean. (I never even considered "this is HN so it's probably tech-related". Don't know what that says about me or the site!)
- js8 6y agoYeah, me too. If it wasn't explained in the discussion, I wouldn't click on it. (Maybe HN needs some tags.) But I am actually glad it's about Haskell, I am a gonna read it now (and it's refreshing to see it being written by woman). I don't mind the movie references, I don't think it's sexist. (Quite the opposite, I think standard mathematical writing is too dry and benefits from having an unrelated theme to add a bit of spice.) Current reality is hard for everyone. When men behave like men, some women complain, when women behave like women, some men complain, it's really hard to please everyone. Take it easy, everyone.
