I've talked about this before[0], and I'll try again. I am an Indian developer. In my previous stint, I had to maintain PHP code. It was written by a Canadian developer. It was such a nightmare to maintain, I rewrote the code base

I really doubt that was the point of the essay. I have seen many a times where different programmer rewrite the entire system and it is not for the lack of proper documentation.

Totally. I love the kernel style over anything else. Even the GNU style for C isn't something I am very fond of. Still there are some languages where 4 spaces indent is fine. But two is just horrible. Also I like tabs. Convert tabs to

Indeed. Success is a little more complex to measure than being employed at DropBox or Google. And also varies from person to person.

Quite an interesting story. I guess I am a few years behind you, as in I just graduated a year back and get offers from startups which i accept/turn down. I often wonder how these startups would end up and where I would be relative to

django-allauth is a very good alternative that covers almost all kinds of authentications.

very much agreed.

Hah! yes. Maybe I should have put it the way you did. My view of Haskell is the same as a non-Lispers view of Lisp. Cry about too much parens and it making things difficult to understand. Doesn't mean the language needs to be changed.

Thank you. That is some good way to look at it. I think people here assumed that I hated haskell or something. This breakdown actually makes it a lot clear to me. Thanks :)

Yes I do know FPs a great deal. I DO NOT harbor any kind of hate towards Haskell, just never found it easy to understand(or read, to be more specific). Also this link makes me want to learn it more than ever now.

Oh dear lord, you misunderstand me. I dont want to implement Haskell in C-style. Haskell is good being haskell, I just had difficulty understanding it and never had enough time to dive deep into it. But now I may.

I didnt mean in a sense that it sucks. Its way different from the traditional C style or Lisp style syntax that I've used. Regardless of whether it is good or bad, it would have taken me some time to adjust to it and I never had that k

I have been wanting to look into Haskell for a long time now. Never really got the time. Also the syntax was a bit off putting. Just skimmed through. I see that there is a bit of Javascript and C in the code too as reference matertial. Most

I had my last post on the home page for almost a day. That spike in the viewers count and twitter feeds are probably the most notable effect out of it. If you need to spread any sort of awareness about any topic, HN seems to be a great way
