Look, all things considered I like that we have someone like esr. He's an important figure in the history of software engineering. Whatever my opinion of his software output might be, that doesn't affect his impact a bit. But the

This is a bit disingenuous and you probably know it. Not everything in the world is about startups, and OpenBSD would do just fine without the recent Internet security news. Can you really blame a project for being ahead of the curve on sec

Interesting, this and phk's ntimed are both sponsored by the Linux Foundation. I guess it makes sense on some level to have concurrent projects that tackle the same problem from different directions.

For one, "fold" is a foreign concept to people who were introduced to programming using an average imperative language. I understand that it's easier to comprehend if you mentally translate `Foldable t => t a` to `Iterable

The other side of the coin is that the majority of newcomers will simply abandon the language if they can't figure out how to use the basic prelude functions within 30 minutes. Every hurdle (installing GHC, figuring out cabal vs stack,

One issue is making the learning curve even steeper. Compare the <=7.8 signature of a simple function (which itself is not obvious to beginners) to the 7.10 one: find :: (a -> Bool) -> [a] -> Maybe a find :: Foldable t =&g
