   14 years is fucking absurd.

   I love Haskell because I don't have to depend on my working memory. It's so nice to have the compiler tell me everywhere some type I've changed is used, or places I've forgotten to consider possible values.

   I've started using ddg instead of consistently skipping it by using g! since the new design came out. I didn't really grok how much the design played into my trust of its results until now. Big improvement imo.

   That's fair if you're only doing a one semester for non-majors thing. I just saw "our undergraduates" and the debate about learning C and took it to mean starting a CS education with C. Those things I mentioned are how

   a = [1,2,3] b = a b += [1] => a == [1,2,3,1] a and b point to the same piece of memory even if you don't have to explicitly deal with pointers, you need to reason about them

   Instead of teaching them about function composition, recursion, data abstraction, and all the interesting concepts of computer science you end up teaching them a bunch of incidental stuff about memory locations and syntax. Python suffers fr

   The rest of her blog is great as well, I really like her stuff about os-dev with rust.

    Does esqueleto not do it for you? Can you be explitit about whats missing for you? Is it just oracle or sql server support?

    Chris Allen / coolsunglasses maintains a great gist of a learning path for haskell: https://gist.github.com/bitemyapp/8739525 The current intro course looks really nice: http://www.seas.upenn.edu&#x2F

    I don't know, maybe it's because I didn't grow up in HackerNews social circles, but I always felt like I was the only one who thought the concept of a "dream job" was disgusting, and hated jobs in general. I think

    It would be after a little while of using the language, I just don't think it should optimize for new users.

    words are easier grep for, but I'd rather read x = (2 * 2)/y instead of "x assign 2 plus 2 divide y"

    The next version of GHC should improve those numbers significantly, but I would also note that there are much more significant reasons to consider using Haskell than the difference between 37k and 43k req/s.

    Still seems strange to me that they're that low.

    I don't know, I think the excitement around angular was because it made things easy, while the excitement around react is based on its simplicity of its model. It's a deeper thing than just being a shiny new thing imo.

    The short answer is no. There's honeysql which basically lets you express sql in terms of Clojure's datastructures so you can get more reuse than you can with straight SQL strings, but it's not really an ORM as I understand

    This is more or less the philosophy of the Clojure community when it comes to web frameworks. Not sure what you're reasons for using Go are, but if you're open to dynamic typing you would probably appreciate Clojure's emphas

    I like seeing people embrace static typing, but it makes me sad that it's a language where you can't even write a container (a map/dictionry/linked-list/etc) without giving up type safety. I recognize that Golang is

    1) Being able to describe it succinctly doesn't make it simple or easy. Mutability creates huge cognitive load. Every piece of mutability state adds exponentially more possible states for you to keep in mind. 2) http://en.w

    I would just accept the hash, I think a lot of us prefer it to the pseudo keyword args. (defn message [text {:keys [style color]}] ...) (message "Text" {:style :bold :color :red}) To the person asking, that {:keys [st

    Love the bit about conduits, lenses and data abstraction, really excellent stuff. The intro may not be interesting for people already into haskell but he makes a solid case for it if you're not sold.

    I don't get why POROs would need some special API. I also don't get why you're pulling code out into things like ConfirmGrouper that still depend on the DB. Why not a true PORO and something like ConfirmGrouper.for(grouper)?

    I just started playing with Scotty while I learn, but I'm beginning working on a web app in Haskell and was leaning towards using Snap. I'll almost certainly pick this up. That new IO manager is a beautiful thing.

    I just figured out how to do this yesterday, here's the source of my barebones Scott/Persistent/Esqueleto app. All it does is insert some records into the db (sqlite), then runs a server that displays the first entry. (The
