If she has experience writing 3 pages of justification for every 5-6 lines of code, perhaps she should join the functional-programming community...

  We don't tend to write that much justification (at least in industry).

    I think he meant it as a joke. As in: "for every line of code a functional programmers writes" he'll write 5 blog posts and 10 HN comments on why functional programming is better, how currying, functional composition, monads, etc, work etc...

      If only we could write the blogs in Haskell as well, for the awesome reduction in LoC.

        Well, you can write them in literate Haskell...

          Just use tons of monads!
          • eru 12y ago
            Monads are too mainstream. Applicative Functors is what it's at these days.

              But Monads are Applicative Functors. Go for arrows instead.
