What is a street if not a space shared with others? Worse, everybody else on the street (pedestrians, cyclists, ...) who is sharing the street with your car is suffering from you using the car by taking up disproportionally much space, need

Trains are also much safer, more energy efficient and have lower TCO than a car fleet with similar capacity. > frequently travel at a fraction of their capacity. The average occupancy of a car with 5 seats is only marginally above 1. So,

The total cost of driving around people individually in cars is substantially higher than the total cost for public transit with similar convenience and significantly higher throughput. (This is including upfront infrastructure investments

That's not an inherent issue with public transit vs. individual transport though. You are comparing a really bad public transit implementation with a good implementation of individual transport. In many European cities, getting from A

I fully agree. And what an anticlimactic article. The only ugly piece of craft on this page is his "computer". It's useless too, which is fine, art can be useless, but I have a hard time seeing the esthetic value. In the eye

What do the GHC folks (or anybody from the Haskell community) say about your work?

Thanks for the balanced feedback. It's not too far from the impression I got. I do take Lafont and Girard seriously and have greatest respect for them.

Alright, let me be the skeptic here and ask. Honest question, not intending to just dismiss anybody outright. But I have questions. I've looked up Victor Taelin and his HighOrderCo company that supposedly just raised $4.5M. So here we
