Not a huge fan of C#, but he couldn't have picked a worse example for language stagnation.
- peregrine 15y agoI can say form experience that C# has several interesting features built on research from Haskell, just gotta probe the edges a bit. And once you probe the edges too hard your code becomes worthless for the standard blub programmer who'd prefer not have to learn the syntax.
- ot 15y agoAgreed, especially considering the amount of cross-pollination there is between C# and Haskell, possibly through F#. The people that develop F# and those who develop a large part of Haskell drink coffee from the same coffee machine.
