Does assembly language leak compared to machine code? That is, does mnemonic names for machine code instructions leak?

But is there any reason to program in Go if you don't like idiomatic Go code (which seems to favour for-loops over higher-level abstractions)? I can understand programmers wanting FP concepts and techniques in languages like C++; there

But, we need to rename things like Functor to Mappable and Monad to Bindable because everything has to be a vaguely relatable (even if possibly misleading) adjective, damnit.

What I find weird about Haskell and its touted equational reasoning and all, is that there doesn't seem to be any program for aiding in and/or checking these proofs. (All examples of it I've seen are 'with pen and paper&

A parody of a headline cliché is as far as the discourse got on this topic in this thread. Lovely.

Woah, where did Haskell come from all of a sudden?

Yeah yeah, they are all strong independent languages that don't need no monads . What do I care. EDIT: you don't strictly need something like monad transformers, though. In general, monads are just another type class. A special

by Dewie 12y ago
There are a lot of tutorials around monads and monad topics using Haskell because... Haskell is one of the few languages which uses monads in a principled and explicit way.
