A lot of people dislike the terseness of that style (especially the use of operators.) I'm not one of those people, but I can understand their point of view. Fortunately, Haskell also lets us write code in a way that managers can under

Mostly luck. I applied on a whim since my previous job (enterprise Java) was dull and tedious, and probably got the interview based on development experience and a math degree.

I do this kind of work. It's frustrating how awful most of the code is. You'd think people smart enough to pursue stem phds would understand basic programming abstractions, but that is often not the case. Another issue is that res

Check out [1] for videos of Erik Demaine's lectures on folding. Also, I highly recommend the videos for the algorithms and data structures courses he's taught/co-taught ([2] for example) [1] https://ocw.mit.edu&#x2

Does that include starting sentences with "so"? Is anyone else annoyed by this?

Same here. The original is one of my favorite films, so I went in expecting to be disappointed, but it wasn't that bad. The story is different, but they made an effort to preserve some of the themes and kept the "Hollywood dumbing

You might be interested in the "free monad" approach used occasionally in scala and haskell. It separates the effectful operations from the effects by first building a data structure that describes what to do and then interpreting

This is the basic stategy that I try to follow as much as possible: Classes that hold data have no methods (beyond getters/setters). Classes that implement behavior have no mutable state; they exist as namespaces for the functionality
