2008: The Rise of Functional Programming: F#, Scala, Haskell (and failing of Lisp)
- mnemonicsloth 19y agoI Read the article and tried hard to take the guy seriously -- that being the un-simian thing to do -- but I just couldn't make it happen inside my head. * He doesn't understand the difference between lisp and Common Lisp. He appears bullish on Scheme. * He thinks referential transparency can be hard to understand. * He hangs out with people who prefer Java because (Most Developers Think) lisp is odd. * Elsewhere on his page, he talks a lot about frameworks, business process standards, and enterprise architecture. * He seems to have trouble with English grammar and word usage.
