I find it unconvincing. That Haskell deemed is better for learning functional programming for the sake of learning functional programming does not really say much about general usefulness.
- koide 14y agoAnd the OP is talking only about learning FP, not about general usefulness. Not sure what you are unconvinced about.
- willvarfar 14y agoThe title and the first few paragraphs gave the impression that this was an article about the general utility of the two languages. Only half-way down did the truth out.
- koide 14y agoMaybe one shouldn't make general comments about a piece one hasn't read in its entirety. Especially for an 11 small paragraphs piece.
- willvarfar 14y agoI did read it fully. Then I commented that I found it unconvincing, which in my book is one step below misleading.
- koide 14y agoI then find unconvincing your usage of the word unconvincing.
- papsosouid 14y agoYeah, you are likely to find it unconvincing if you are hoping to be convinced about something the author isn't talking about. Perhaps the issue is your expectations, and your unwillingness to take the writing for what it says rather than what you want it to say.
