> handle a linked list as rapidly as the JVM handles an array A linked list is not an array. Particular operations will have different complexities. One data structure is not "more rapid" than another.

Title is misleading. This is about some Scala microbenchmarks. There is no CT or metal here.

It's almost like the shell was designed to execute arbitrary commands!

Psuedocode then. Given a type `m` and a type `a` a monad provides functions with types: bind : m a → (a → m b) → m b wrap : a → m a

Might be a reasonable fit for Cryptol?

Well its not "much" higher level. It adds memory management and a simpler concurrency story, which helps. But e.g. no generics, no algebraic data types, no pattern matching. Plenty of things will still have to be done by hand. I&#

Title shows author doesn't understand programming language design. No, a small set of higher-order functions[1] is not as fundamental as the concept of higher-order functions in the first place. [1]: http://www.reddit.com&#x

How does this differ from e.g. xmonad, which uses vi-like keybindings? It's specifically the bulk operators based on movement?

there does seem to be some overlap with stream fusion -- which was all about exploiting the optimization opportunities when separating the collection operation from the kernel performed on each element. We called the bits in the middle &quo

Hmm. This is just one guy's style guide on the public wiki. http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/index.php?title=Commentin... It isn't official in any sense.

Tiobe is not a good way to measure popularity. There is not really more ML code than Haskell , for example. Try e.g. github http://redmonk.com/sogrady/2014/06/13/language-rankings-6-14...

> full of broken packages. Citation needed. Hackage goes to great lengths to validate packages as much as possible. Other support systems do continuous integration and further validation, if you're looking for well regarded package

This would become "haskell-rest" in most package systems.

Because using sloppy language is so much better...

Gorgeous slides, Ed!

Yeah. We used started using tinyurl on #haskell IRC by 2003 because long urls would break line wrapping, get mangled, not be typeable etc.

Lens is one guy's pathological abstraction. It's a library, and it's idiosyncratic. It isn't want large Haskell systems "look like". Cf http://ro-che.info/articles/2014-04-24-lens-unidiomat

Amazing to think that parser combinator libraries are an almost 20 year old technique now. And if you think these things are toys, consider e.g. http://hackage.haskell.org/package/FpMLv53 is used to process transaction

http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=VNX4spGpIOc&feature=kp I'd recommend Aes' Zodiacpuncture for vocab speed and depth. He basically wins the ranking on that track alone.

tiobe is a measure of "search engine results" for the query "$language programming".. including on YouTube. So it is neither a measure of community nor job market.

Importantly, comparing "ephemeral" structures - those that destroy previous states through direct hardware mutation - with persistent structures (such as all pure data structures) - is a fraught topic. You can surely gain speed up

Not sure I want to do BlackScholes and MC or solving SAT problems or data structures in perl.. But text processing , hell yeah. perl -pei ftw! The legacy is perl REs

Complexity of concatMap operations. Nested things don't always fuse. If you want to use fusion, the best place is the `vector` package.
