I don't know OCAML well but I think this is referring to the fact that modules on OCAML can be generic. In f# there is no HKTs that is types that can be parameterised with type classes. So in F# you have to have List.map, option.map et

All of these examples look weird and unreadable to me. Rust borrows from decades of ML language syntax. I don't think that can go wrong. Not sure where the Zig choices come from but they seem to be there just to look "different&qu

One thing I would say is if you're writing a normal Rust application or library and do not care about c interoperability, you could get by without being aware of anything other than the first 2 types. However in Fsharp you are forced t

Yeah those examples I gave are not the best. But why records and classes when records can also have methods. What I was getting at was the language looks good until you dive deeper and get into all those rough edges of dotnet interoperabili

by akkad33 1y ago
F# is a chimera of a language. The functional parts of the language are nicely designed: no nulls, discriminated unions (ADTs), you write simple functions in simple modules and there is nothing that is too clever to understand: it's ve

Why is it irritating? Maybe good thought for self reflection

For me it's been the opposite. They take on a condescending tone sometimes and sometimes they sound too salesy and trump up their suggestions

I think Julia is kind of simple in the sense that it has this idea that every function you write is automatically generic and the compiler infers the generic bounds by looking at the function implementation. A typed language that does somet
