where does the condescension come from? the loftiness/lording over people who "just don't get it", that clearly comes across in your communication?
this is a really non-productive comment. you have an opportunity to teach and share knowledge but instead you hoard and condescend, and rant about your implied superiority.
if so many programmers don't understand -- what's more productive: this comment, or helping "most programmers" to get it, and understand?
- ninetyninenine 2y agoIt’s communication to programmers who do get it. I love to teach and explain but this is one of those things that can’t be conveyed. You have to do it yourself. If you want an explanation though, use Google. But I don’t think explanations actually help you grok what’s really happening. You really have to come to catharsis yourself. Learn Haskell. Learn it to the point where you completely understand the purpose of the IO monad and why it exists and helps a program organize better. Then you will understand. When you do get it. You’ll be among a small few who have obtained something that’s almost like forbidden knowledge. No one will “get” you.
