Server side tracking would mean that ad companies don't have access to cookies + user fingerprints, so they would be less effective at serving targeted ads.

That's right. Type constructors are related to generics. For example if you have a generic type `List<A>` you could think of `List` as a type constructor. In most languages, however, that's not a construct you can do much of

To be fair, the term "map" comes from math [0], and so at the time these functions were created, there weren't other good naming choices. Mappable and Functor are just about as opaque as each other if you don't know what

I think Haskell's been working really well for us. Strong types give a lot of confidence during refactoring. The language is performant too which has definitely helped us as we've been scaling. Personally, I like to stay pretty cl
