1. The scientific method is a way to rank all the available theories that has proven remarkably useful in practice. There is no presumption in the scientific method. It's the right way only because any other way is chaotic and doesn&#x

What's true is determined by the scientific method. You can make as many theories as you want but if you can't make predictions based on that theory and devise experiments to verify those predictions, and perhaps most importantly,

Seems you might have fixed it before I saw it! Thanks!

Looks fine to me. What's wrong with it?

A lo of people in this thread seem to be misunderstanding what is being asked for. There is no runtime reflection needed. What is really needed is - 1. A way to get a value that represents the type of any statically known type (i.e. known

How does it follow that the mediant (a+c)/(b+d) is a better approximation than both a/b and c/d? One of the bounds could be very close to the quantity you are trying to approximate already.

Off the top of my head Coffeescript introduced the function arrow syntax to JS, as well as class based inheritence. Also you don't need to take my word for it, Brendan Eich, the creator of JS himself has said that CoffeeScript had a si

I didn't mean the designers of Rust. I meant the author of the article did not consider a Haskell like syntax. I completely understand the reasons for Rust devs targeting a C like syntax. Rust had already blown its novelty budget on th

Yup, this could and should be a separate preprocessor step. Changing the syntax of the Rust language itself so drastically would be nearly impossible at this stage.

Why is that hard to comprehend? `do` starts a new block with sequencing semantics (so we don't need the `?` operators) in Haskell. CoffeeScript can actually be considered very successful, since it influenced the design of a lot of ot

I've been thinking about something like this for a while too. Happy to collaborate!

They didn't explore a Haskell (or PureScript) inspired syntax, but I think it could massively improve things without compromising on semantics. The separate function signature itself is a great improvement. "Haskell flavored Rust&

I'm currently learning Japanese and I tried playing with this for a bit. I have to say that this looks really nice, and almost exactly what I was looking for. The flashcards are interestingly presented, and the selection of sources is

Thank you! All the manual wiring in Elm can be very frustrating! Also not having to expose all the action datatypes when they are only being used in a single place can really improve code structure.

Well elm architecture is just a pattern in Concur. You don't need to store things globally at all. Currently the only thing to take care of is - when a child widget returns some value to the parent, if you want to reinvoke the child wi

1. Application wide state is easy since you can always access state from parent components in child components. The problem occurs when you want to update parent state from child components. Fortunately, you can make your own abstractions

Purescript-Concur is simpler, and allows you to use elm-architecture as well, but also allows you to use your existing functional programming toolkit to the fullest. It also has react bindings - https://github.com/purescript

It's not. Ganja could mean either marijuana or "bald" depending on how you pronounce it. Not offensive or an insult which would "exclude 2 billion people" either way.

This is exactly the right answer. There are two cases here (1. when the target is at the front of the list and necessitates changing the head of list, and 2. when the head doesn't need to be changed.) You handle both the cases separa

Can you clarify the difference between developing "with" vs "on" react-native?

I find all this code so hard to read, because there are very few elements being composed together. It reads like one monolithic chunk of code (and with a global state!). I find code enjoyable to read and write when it's like Lego. Yo

I wrote a UI framework called Concur which is very similar to immediate mode UIs and hence very easy to use, but also scales fantastically well to complex UIs. The original code was written in Haskell ( https://github.com/ajn
