Interesting. As a player of piano, woodwinds, and others I've gotten used to different systems of scribbling over the staff to convey something that's not metadata but not primary info. Well-tempered Klavier is a good bad example, there's

Languages with good type systems (haskell, scala, ocaml) can certainly address these. I haven't been following liftweb (scala) closely but I give the author, DPP, credibility, when he says that he's addressed the first three. http://sevent

!!! I'm sure you're not an idiot. Have you tried the School of Haskell, it incorporates the minimum viable skills for learning haskell (pulling code apart in the REPL, and understanding type signatures, pattern matches and compiler type che

There's no hidden/default parameters in haskell (records have default values but that's different), that line is eta reduced because those 2 functions always behave identically number = return You have to figure what you did in tha

Craziness is not zero sum game, but it's hard to convince people that complain about "expression problem", "modular abstractions", "better DI", all the phrases to capture part of the problem, to read Real world haskell or Scala in Depth, bo

They're conventions that work because you see them over and over in small functions, the "small functions" being key. (go), type parameters, (x:xs) "\ds ->", "import qualified This as That". I think it's just like a java progra

You can write simple scala, if you use case classes, type inference, wildcards, optional parens/periods, return "this" to make little pointfree method chains etc. You also need to avoid parameterized types and many corners of the type syst

Yeah, pretty fluffy article, no mention of HOL, dependent types, other camps. I was hoping to see libs like Isabelle, metaMath, Corbineau's coq lib etc mentioned

No Meh: you and the blogger are substantially in accord on your optimal tech stack: someone would inevitably point out a language that gracefully handled that particular issue in a much nicer way than Haskell, ML, or Erla
