It is, if you know where to look. Therein lies the problem. The language doesn't have much marketshare, and few champions. I just finished reading Scott Wlaschin's Domain Driven Design for Functional Programmers and it's an i

FP Or Die Gang is downvoting you, but this is actually correct. No referential transparency (among other things, no doubt) makes this a harder problem to solve than just using a language that supports it. $0.02

I'm fascinated with this. What's your use case, here? What problems do you expect to solve for someone that chose to adopt this? Are y'all scratching a very particular itch, and open-sourcing the outcome? Or is this more of a

That's just not true. Moving faster does not mean moving more effectively. Frantic activity should not be mistaken for progress. I'm OK with the FAA taking "days to resolve the problem" if it means that nobody dies. For

Very. My fsharp experience is fairly limited, but I am having no trouble following along.

I have to agree! I'm only about a third of the way through; I didn't realize that there was so much about properly building OO systems that I'd simply never seen in the wild, or heard of before.

You'll be impressed, I think. It feels very natural - at least, it does to me.

It's a solid book. I was chugging through it a bit at a time, until I discovered Scott Wlaschin's Domain Driven Design Made Functional. I've dropped the Evans book (as it's mired in mid-00's Enterprise Java patterns

If the type of C is a type D -> E -> F... then you're already there. Or I'm misunderstanding the question. (In which case, please, somebody correct me.) But if I'm not... Elm, Haskell, F#, and probably most other FP lan

I buy all of my domains from Namecheap. I'm not 100% how TLDs work or who owns them or whatever... but just to be safe, I bought another 8 years of my .dev email address. Fortunately, the renewal rate was something like $17/yr. Ju

After shipping several production applications in Elm over the last five years... I can confirm that the development experience is an absolute joy. With a compiler this helpful, and sub-second builds-on-save - you get really tight feedback

On some level I agree; however, this article in particular is not a collection of virtue signals. If I have failed to see how this is not the case, I would appreciate some examples.

What about the rest of this, that you didn't quote, do you take issue with?

Inexperienced developers that don't understand what they're doing, armed with a language known best for being worst-in-class at everything except for "running everywhere", is a recipe for disaster, no matter how you spin

I'm not sure what kind of life you've lived, or how old you are; but stating that > Adults aren't more sophisticated than a teenager, they just have better impulse control is reductionist and absurd. Some experiences are o

What’s fascinating to me is that this discourse has the tone and pacing of literally any HN conversation. Take from that what you will.

Alternative proposal: for the love of God, please stop trying to quantify this. If your engineers truly aren't getting shit done, you should be able to tell without looking at their code. We don't get paid to write code. We get pa

If you see this, and you like it: Elm's HTML DSL is similar, and really nice. Every HTML tag (except for `text`) is an implementation of the base function `node`, which is: node : String -> List Attr msg -> List Html msg -&

Another upside is that if you use a less-common language, there is _not_ a library or package for everything just yet... so sometimes, that creates the opportunity to work on open source at your day job! Some people will say that this is a

Learn a statically-typed FP lang and get a job doing that. Even if you end up at a "Simple Haskell" place, you'll still have all sorts of opportunities to reinvent the wheel (so that you can run yourself over with it, of cour

Forgive the question, but why is exercise such a distant next step for you? You very clearly have a lot of self-discipline, and you have your shit together. For me, exercise has always been the most rewarding part of the whole deal. Really
