   Go has a garbage collector, that makes it not like C.

   This book is pragmatic, fun, and thorough. It also provides a nice introduction for people new to thinking in a functional way and applying it to the real world.

   It sounds like a Haskell programmer using unsafePerformIO everywhere. Or, perhaps a more apt example would be using Data.Dynamic for everything.

   Thanks for putting isomorphic in quotes.

   I personally use generics enough in web development that Go is sufficiently annoying for many parts.

   I was curious what Haskellers were using and found this: https://github.com/codygman/git-date-haskell Had to do a small bugfix from bitrot, but this is a nice package that wraps the git date handling code which the aut

   I'm pretty sure the Ocaml code is doing more than the Python code you posted. Hopefully someone who knows Ocaml can explain it to us and then we can write the actual python equivalent.

   To this Haskeller it appears to be keeping state as well.

   While I love and use Haskell a lot I would recommend Purescript [0] over Haskell or Ocaml. Even if the only reason (hint: it's not) were that Purescript uses familiar tooling such as NPM, node, CommonJS modules, bower, etc and would al

    How does Ocaml do on having predictable memory usage? This is still a weak spot in Haskell, though I absolutely love the language and it hasn't mattered yet for my use cases. Doesn't it hurt having a GIL? How awesome is having the

    I would like to second the recommendation of either Racket or Chicken Scheme (Gambit is good too) where you are writing command line scripts with a LISP. I'm sure Common Lisp has excellent options as well, but I can't speak to tho

    I believe they can be very easily used if they are CommonJS modules? I'm not sure, but I'm almost positive the amazing Purescript Book[0] has an answer for you. 0: https://leanpub.com/purescript/read

    After looking at that site I'm baffled as to why it's not more popular.

    C# imo doesn't qualify as a programmable programming language and even if it did it wouldn't be the first.

    A shame this one didn't get any discussion, especially from those who didn't see the benefit in the original version.

    You don't have to validate all objects inside of that list are an int or handle cases via duck typing, exceptions, etc. As _yosefk said, the interpreter can assume a more compact representation.

    How does what the OP posted not qualify as an alternative?

    by codygman 12y ago

    Well, to be fair it's if you use any language that uses some equivalent of the Maybe Monad.

    I'll admit I'm a little rusty on my geometry, but I'm fairly sure I was never told that a square is a rectangle. If you mean insofar as operations on rectangles should work on squares, this could be accomplished with typeclas

    What "Real World" applications do you think Haskell isn't practical for? For instance, why wouldn't Haskell be practical for web development?

    I've been debating whether or not to choose C++ or D to learn as my "when performance really matters" language. I'm still going to learn Rust, but I'm very interested in D. I also like that it has a pure keyword ;)

    Cool, it's always good to see other languages approaches (especially when idiomatic) to try out their way of thinking. > I would very much be interested in the dependently typed version. I'll try to get to it later today, I&#x2

    Yeah, I was really big into elm until I started noticing how slow many of my programs were on Firefox. Everything runs great in Chrome however.

    It probably hasn't been proven enough for him to deem worth of his time. I don't say that condescendingly, but he seems to have a pretty pragmatic approach to trying out new stuff. Unsurprising, given how busy he inevitably is.

    I believe that ATS[0] has/can do this, perhaps I'm confusing another feature. Anywho, there's also a very comprehensive ATS book[1]. 0: http://www.ats-lang.org/ 1: http://ats-lang.sourceforge.net&#
