In F# scripts you can add dependencies directly from Nuget like so: #r "nuget: NodaTime, 3.2.1" open NodaTime let now = SystemClock.Instance.GetCurrentInstant() printfn "%A" now

Are you Velocio? Thanks for all the hard work! Sad that lufguss will probably become just another channel on one of the big platforms. RIP.

JavaScript lambdas are better for FP than those in Python because they can be on multiple lines. If going untyped JS, then you don't have the same restrictions as Java. If going typed, then the TypeScript type-system is more powerful t

A good "survey" of something that has been observed many times before. I'm not sure it adds any new insights, however.

JavaScript is a very capable language. It has better functional programming support than Java and Python. It has fewer footguns that C++. You can start with a scrappy prototype then gradually add type-checking later. Of the mainstream langu

You need the syntax if you want it to actually work well in practice.

Haskell has do-notation which is a more general kind of this syntactic sugar

Then you end up with a pyramid of doom. Fine for small examples but it doesn't scale up easily. Rust has special syntax (`?`) for this AFAICT.

I'm not convinced that you can follow all of these outside of Functional Programming. How can you "Make illegal states unrepresentable" with mutable state and sequences of mutations that cannot be enforced with the type sys

But once upon a time the UK had higher cycling rates than the Netherlands. How did the Netherlands manage to overcome this back in the 70s and the UK has not?

A great concept, but there's one big problem: many official bike trails are crap. Sometimes it's actually better to take the road, or you end up on a windy route that's near impossible to follow, debris everywhere, no right o

So if Trump is against China, and China aligns with Russia, will Trump then support Ukraine? Interesting (and choppy) times ahead.

They are both imperative / data-orientated languages and Rust has light functional programming.

Why is it so expensive? Is it cost of production being passed on or did the marketing department decide to do some "prestige" pricing?

I wonder if image based screen sharing (e.g. Google Meet) is the "worse is better" here? Zed collaboration sounds great, but what about all of the other apps I use? Image based sharing supports everything (poorly) automatically.

A bit of the beaten path, but F# with Fable is a very powerful combination. On the server you can run ASP.Net using Giraffe, which is a Functional Programming layer with comparable performance to C#. On the front-end, you can write React in

Is there a variant of Prolog that is less dynamic with AoT compilation? Imagine if you can be in "dynamic mode" where you can add rules, facts, etc. in an adhoc way. Then, once your game is better defined, you can compile the Prol
