No you should just stop voting me down. I'm literally going to go negative soon, I just joined. I literally cannot talk to you if you continue voting me down. It's bad form. >I think you should look into domain theory it is one of the most celebrated discoveries pertaining to the semantics of functional programming languages. And maybe you'll understand that from a programming point of view, what a function is is much more flexible and subtle than you think. Sure I could. But "context matters." This is not the topic of the conversation. There's a level of depth we're operating at here. Very few people understand "domain theory" and you shouldn't assume as much when you communicate with anyone.

I'm not downvoting you. I can't downvote anyone. I don't think I have enough points to downvote. If I didn't want to talk to you I wouldn't be replying!

Admittedly I downvoted this one: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24438137 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24438137 Yet again though: "Random person (you)" "he does not know what a function is." "Yeah I'm not going to reply to your shit any more." ...give a good reason --- Anyways, leaving this thread. I certainly learned something from it, I hope you did too! : ) I now noticed you're at -1, went ahead and gave you an upvote. Hopefully you can still post, and be a bit more aware. -- Also, great work trying to explain bitdizzly. Def enjoyed reading your explanations, and will explore some the references you popped in

  There's nothing for me to learn here other than domain theory which is very advanced math and how people behave. If you follow the conversation you'll see that the entire argument turned into a battle of definitions with me turning to a very generally accepted definition of a function and bitdizzy turning to using more obscure mathematical definitions of "function" and arguments about semantics what context is relevant to what definition of "function." Whatever definition you choose to believe domain theory looks like very advanced stuff and clearly outside the scope of your average technical conversation. Either way, I didn't have time to respond to your other comment below. But I will now. Don't worry about the upvote thing. It's just for this thread I can switch accounts.
