I don't feel it's so clear cut. Haskell fuzzies the difference between syntactic and semantic elements. What in your piece of code is the parentheses might very well be defined as functions in Haskell. For instance, the ($) and (.) function

"I don't actually know what it's doing" Sorry, but that means you couldn't read it.

And the sad part is that none of this will help the overpopulation problem, since those who have access to virtual sex will also be the ones who are not contributing to the problem so much.

Good job! They'll probably waste the next 0-3 years rewriting your shit and you have made another company and several suits hate Haskell. The suits talk to each other, you know.

Javascript. I've learned the basics of SML and Ocaml, and a bit more than basics of Haskell, but I just can't bring myself to learn how to use JS effectively. More generally, I find it hard to learn how to do GUIs and pretty web pages.

The pompous attitude of Microsoft and everything that surronds them is getting more silly and childish every time they do it. Does anyone buy it at all anymore?

>Do people actually use bitcoins nowadays, or is it more of a speculative market? For things that you cannot as safely use normal currency, like drugs. Also, Wikileaks recently announced that they will accept donations in bitcoins.

"Sure, all religions are "weird". But most religious organizations -- generally speaking -- genuinely have their members' best interests at heart. Scientology has no such concerns. " That argument kinda breaks down when you take a look at o

"About a week and a half ago I gave up drinking coffee due to the withdrawal symptoms I experienced if I went a day without it (fatigue, headaches). It feels a lot better not to be addicted, but now I'm not sure whether I should resume." Yo

Celeron is more than enough for everything if the software beneath is good enough -- remember, it's orders of magnitude faster than what we had in the 80s, but most computer tasks are still similar. Perhaps Google is betting on that? 16GB S

Well ok, you can explicitly ignore them, but not by being negligent.

Except that get accepts as parameters non-unique non-primary fields too. I have every reason to believe that the Django devs are capable people who thought about this and landed on this specific usage with a clear rationale... but it still

You cannot ignore the error return value in Go. If you would think a bit more broadly, you might also see this so that all the error handling code is visible, explicit and right there with the actual logic, and not hidden away what might be

I might kinda agree that exact queries against primary keys not having results (or having more than 1) would be exceptional, but this actually happens for every other field as well.

The problem is that when exceptions are available, people will start using them for non-exceptional things and (the worst case) basic control flow. Case in point from a popular framework, Django: the standard way of getting an object from t

Exceptions are a bad idea. Even in the more saner languages such as python, they tend to obfuscate needlessly.

Is Haskell suffering from a research language problem where the only things considered valuable are things that can be made into papers, i.e. only new additions?

Things like this make me confused about the total usefulness this whole system. Is it rewarding people who should be rewarded?
