Yep (credit to bkirwi): λ> import Data.Bits λ> let integerWithBytes = foldr (\byte acc -> (acc `shiftL` 8) + fromIntegral byte) 0 λ> integerWithBytes [0xFF, 0xFF, 0xFF, 0xFF] 4294967295

I feel like you are overstating both how much this happens in Haskell and how exclusive it is to the Haskell community. Also see bkirwi's response for the working version, then my reply to him for a sample run.

Yep this works: λ> import Data.Bits λ> let integerWithBytes = foldr (\byte acc -> (acc `shiftL` 8) + fromIntegral byte) 0 λ> integerWithBytes [0xFF, 0xFF, 0xFF, 0xFF] 4294967295

That's comparing Go's library call to a full implementation though.

I think you are far too confident about the usual business approaches to security.

Charitably speaking, that is very confusing considering you responded to: > Haskell is particularly guilty of creating several different indenting possibilities, and does require constant intervention with: > You really have to design

Hm, I guess clock doesn't support forth? I just ran `cloc .` from the root directory.

Obligatory cloc reading to see which implementations were shortest: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Language files blank comment code

Every small min function that you ride has the potential to have bugs. In a language with generics there is only one min function meaning only one source of potential bugs. So is it simpler to have all these little functions doing basically

Was VBscript source code visible from the browser? What I'm recommending is basically something to replace Javascript in exactly the same way (except it's a sane* language). * I do concede ES6 is much much better

I think GHCJS well mean having to use the JavaScript FFI much less.

What if one of those compile to JavaScript languages forked Firefox and/or Chromium and added support to their languages in the tooling? Would that suffice for you?

What have you gained going from Scala/Haskell/R to Javascript? What have you lost?

Readable lambdas are always a plus for me, glad to see this change.

Whoa, seriously? I'm going to guess you're joking since they probably implemented "customer order of amount x".

Can you give some reasons why? Perhaps even show how you would have solved the problem?

Oh, I was about to say... Make sure you only expose a portion of Haskell's concurrency primitives ;)
