You’d have to explain why you believe that. Just because someone in poverty can afford to purchase items in the store, doesn’t mean it’s good value, i.e. it’s not necessarily providing relief from poverty. In fact, it’s the opposite. See

> If I had one thing I want fixed about Scheme it would be the dynamic typing The ML family or Haskell fit that bill. Both OCaml and Haskell also have an equivalent of macro systems. So does e.g. Rust, for that matter. I agree with your

Cargo isn't intended for that. If there was something like Ansible implemented in Rust, then you could use Cargo to install it.

I’m not just talking about heavy use of slack, I’m talking about maximalism as described in the article. Larger organizations will typically have several different systems to perform many of the functions described in the article, and it ge

The difference is not just convention. You mentioned some similarities between Rust panics and C++ exceptions, but there are some important differences. If you tried to write Rust code that used panics and catch_unwind as a general exceptio

It seems serious. I can only imagine it’s referring to a pretty small company. I suppose it can be tempting to do everything with one tool. I’ve seen some slack maximalism before, like using Slack as a primary operations platform - sending

Saying that people are "letting it happen" is misleading. What would you do about the situation if you were a US citizen? People are working on these issues every day. I'm politically involved and my wife, who's a citize

It's not just fromJust, there many other partial functions, and they all have the same issue, such as head, tail, init, last, read, foldl1, maximum, minimum, etc. It's an overstatement to say that these are "shunned by practi

I’m not an American, but I live in the US (for now!), and I’m the poster of the comment above. Perhaps if you’re unfamiliar, you may not realize just how undemocratic the US is. The Economist magazine downgraded it from a full democracy to

Haskell’s fromJust, and similar partial functions like head, are as dangerous as Rust’s unwrap. The difference is only in the failure mode. Rust panics, whereas Haskell throws a runtime exception. You might think that the Haskell behavior i

It's sorting and mixing. Comets, asteroids, and planets all had different factors governing their formation (sorting). When comets or asteroids hit planets, you get a mixture of those different compositions.

I love Rust. I love Haskell even more. I’m a big fan of Scheme. But anyone who “hates” on Java is just revealing a lack of understanding of what’s important in professional software development.
