I agree that the use of the word 'squandering' is provocative and incorrect. reddit points out that he is evangelizing Haskell (FPComplete) and trolling C++ users on Twitter ("I used to be a C++ masochist") He doesn't make his financial bias clear in the article, which would have been helpful for those not familiar with him.
- BartoszMilewski 13y agoOuch! Ad personam attacks are a sign of desperation. For the record, I used to work for FPComplete (I architected the School of Haskell) but I quit. It was an interesting experience, having seen a whole complex web site and an online Haskell IDE built in record time by a few Haskell programmers.
- michaelwww 13y agoSorry man! If you read the rest of my posts I was agreeing with you. I was just trying to address the reaction chetanahuja had to your article to say I wasn't blinded and had healthy skeptism, but I still agreed whole-heartedly with you. C++ is great for special circumstances but I'd hate to have to go back to it for general coding. Functional programming offers some very intriguing ideas, which I'm only starting to grasp. I don't really mind you being provocative because it provokes and discussion follows.
