It’s about a specific branch of functional programming that values an almost mathematical rigor, though (like Haskell).
I don’t think the criticism of the author applies LISP-style functional programming, which is much more accommodating to embracing chaos.
- yakshaving_jgt 9mo agoUtterly ridiculous. In Haskell you can “embrace chaos” exactly as much as you desire. It’s a general purpose programming language.
- epgui 9mo agoYeah no, that criticism of Haskell is nonsense.
- stingraycharles 9mo agoIt wasn’t intended as criticism of Haskell at all, I love that language. I have a whole bunch of open source Haskell projects under my name. It was intended as a criticism of the article, that its whole assumption “FP == making invalid states impossible to represent” is incorrect. I recognize that it’s very much possible to embrace chaos with Haskell, and I should probably have worded that better.
