I think the response gets right to the point!
Using something like Haskell for ROOT is ridiculous for a lot of obvious reasons. A simple and dismissive "no" invites the cautious reader to discover them on their own rather than waste engaging in a protracted debate. Maybe it's better to reject the idea out of hand and spend our time elsewhere.
- mynameisvlad 2y agoThat’s just not how technical discussions work. Not everyone knows what you know and the point of this community is to share knowledge not gatekeep it behind some “discovering it yourself” bullshit. The fastest thing to do is not dismissing it with no explanation but rather explaining for all the readers why that is the case. Because if one person doesn’t know I can guarantee that there’s plenty out there who are just as interested to know. And it’s a waste of everyone’s time to have each person independently come to the same conclusion when it’s apparently easily explainable. You’re free to not do any of that, of course, but be prepared to defend the fact that you’d prefer not engaging in discussion and instead just shallowly dismiss something.
