   If you had experience in a functional programming language, you'd have recognized this as a fold and written the foldMyStructure function. If your Visitor pattern solution is similar to the example code in https://secure.wikimedia.org/wiki

   So, what should you use when coding in Java? In my experience the standard API is terrible, inconsistent and frustrating. (Not that I'd use it anyway, the language itself is too limited).

   Yeah, I know how monads work, what I mean was that according to the examples you don't seem to enforce purity(nothing like the IO monad). And I've never found types to be a burden in Haskell, the type inference works great so that you can u

   So, Haskell without types and monads basically? ;)

   That's interesting, but excluding the "reducing to combinatorial forms" thing, which only seems to be an implementation detail, can't this all be done in Scheme or another Lisp dialect? "no distinction between data and function" goes hand i

   So, how is this different/better than other functional languages?

   More importantly, you left out the "minimal Debian box" part. With modern desktop environments, you can just plug your printer, wait a few seconds for it to tell you it's installed, and your done. Way easier than on any other OS.

    So, what's the intuitive equivalent to monadic parsers combinators? (see http://www.cs.nott.ac.uk/~gmh/monparsing.ps which incidentally is a great introduction to monads). Similarly, now that I have some understanding of monads, I find my

    The Java UIs suck, but that only speaks for the quality of Java. Qt has managed to make great looking cross-platform software for a long time now.

    Are you saying that you can do better type analysis in C# than in Haskell?

    At least, Nokia released Qt under the LGPL. Plus there's the KDE Free Qt Foundation which guarantees that "This agreement ensures that the Qt will continue to be available under both the LGPL 2.1 and the GPL 3. Should Nokia discontinue the

    Try KDevelop 4. Its semantic highlighting is really awesome. And most importantly it doesn't get in your way. Unlike Eclipse or even Qt Creator which I find frustrating to work with.

    Yes, especially since Mobility really is a weird beast. See http://doc.qt.nokia.com/qtmobility-1.1.0/gallery.html . Maybe it's just me but this screams "over-engineered", I still haven't figured how you're supposed to use it.

    I disagree, the following: int* foo, bar; could be interpreted as declaring two pointers, whereas: int *foo, bar; makes it clear that only the first variable is a pointer.

    That made me think of Haskell, so to compare here is the equivalent(and of course totally inefficient) Haskell version: [p| p <- [2..n], all (\i -> p `mod` i /= 0) [2..p-1]] So, has this language more to offer than list compre
