   Not really - but it does let you chunk functionality together from smaller pieces. So if you have function f1 that takes a and returns b (a -> b) and a function f2 that takes b and returns c (b -> c) you can compose them into a functi

   And yet a language has to evolve or become obsolete...

   I love libraries like this and fn.py, and I really miss the things I've got used to having available in Haskell when I write python. It's possible to use function patterns in python (Applicative and Functor are things you can impl

   I usually think of immutability in terms of saving myself from getting bitten :-)

   Interesting. What did/do you use to ascertain where all your money goes?

   Isn't $500 ~ 6M IDR about what you'd expect from a basic office job in Indonesia? I would have expected that an IT job would be more. Your English seems very good, have you tried consulting remotely?

   That looks pretty cool. I had a play with orgs agenda a while back, but the lack of integration with devices made it less useful than it could have been.

    I just got my 7 year old daughter started on the http://code.org/ exercises. She completed the hour of code, got her certificate, and is now always saying to me "Daddy can we do some more code"?

    Yes, absolutely agree with you. I wish I was writing Haskell day to day. My point was that it takes a long trivial amount of time to learn Haskell during which you might feel "unproductive" by that measure. I feel that it's

    This is the most important part for me: And precisely for that reason, lots of natural, evolving, overlapping hierarchies can emerge ―hierarchies of development, skill, talent, expertise, and recognition

    You might not be productive in the traditional sense of "delivering business value". However over the years of letting Haskell change my brain a little piece at a time, the results have accumulated. I wouldn't swap that deepe

    Shout out to "Out of the tarpit" [1] that's referenced in the "functional-relational" link in the article. This is a great paper that's well worth 20 minutes of your time to read! [1] http://shaffner

    Picking out BAML and JPM as example of successful adoption at scale has got to be a joke! Giving a large number of "enterprise" developers a language like python means that you end up with ~10m lines of poorly designed, un-pythoni

    This is a great article! When you start thinking of everything as a left fold over a stream of events excellent things happen.

    Isn't this really a bet on turning all of your data into streams and moving to do everything in real time? If it is, I whole heartedly agree!

    Tesser also allows you to distribute it using hadoop i think. I haven't used it, I only happened to hear about it why @aphyr gave a talk at the clojure exchange in London.

    Looks superficially simmilar to https://github.com/aphyr/tesser anyone know both and can give a comparison? From a brief examination tesser looks a lot simpler (probably because of encoding most of the folding using va

    Wow! That's pretty big news! Very much looking forward to seeing what insights come out of rebuilding something like angular with types. edit actually on second reading, I'm not sure what's been rewritten in what?
