> OTOH, chances are you'll still get more type safety than doing FP in Common Lisp. Maybe that was the case in the past? Now there's Shen, so now you can get a lot more type safety in Common Lisp than in Go.

Except for the tiny fact that you don't get higher-kinded types, which is huge for functional programming.

The difference is that after println, the next line of code runs in a world where the previous println happened. After a Pure.println, the next line of code does not run in a world where the previous println happened, because it didn&#x27

It's nothing. Americans spent "Native American" on their tribes and they don't want to include the other native American tribes under the same label. "Hispanic" is a useless label because then you subdivide int

Macho man! If you need to know the intricacies of an abstraction in order to use an abstraction, then it's not a very good abstraction. Do engineers know the ins and outs of concrete and rebar? Or do they offload that knowledge onto ma

This is the attitude that keeps us mired in subpar ideas like C, C++, Java, HTML, CSS, JS. "I'm a tough guy and tough guys use tools that make our lives hell! We're serious ! We're engineers ! Your language is just a t

You seem to only be able to think from the perspective of central planning. I invite you to stop invoking this earthly "god" and give people a chance. Can you give me an example of how a town where 90% of the unemployed are black

You're a Cultural Marxism peddler. I am white and I think I am in the very same group as blacks and all other races, namely the group called "individuals". All we need to do is fight for individual rights and teach people r

Makes sense they're porting MongoDB to Postgres, given that: "As of version 9.4, PostgreSQL benchmarks faster than MongoDB for both inserting and querying JSON data." :P

I don't get the downvotes. If I complain about business regulations people tell me I'm in the wrong and I should move out of the country, because people here have decided they will be complicit in regulating companies. Same with S

Finally someone says what needs to be said. This is all. Either you understand arguments stand for themselves, or you are a relativist that thinks arguments vary in validity depending on whose mouth they're coming from. If I find out s

Well, the majority of the ~300 million US citizens don't seem to be up in arms against this. Is the US populace mostly complicit in this too? Can't we take their inaction as a vote of consent? In that sense you could say, in the s

So Humpty Dumpty is a relativist? "It just means what I choose it to mean" is the basis of Relativism. Could Humpty Dumpty say "I like ice cream" and mean "atoms are actually divisible"? If not then does that m

I'm not even talking about it at that level, because I don't fully understand it. :) The reason I said that is because I visualize it like this: enum maybeValue { NOTHING, JUST }; typedef enum maybeValue MaybeValue; str

You're right, but feminism (and leftism in general) is guided by Social Marxism and Critical Theory and those are tools being used to divide and conquer the people. So it won't stop. But yes you're right, look at Sweden with

I agree I'm a bit confused there, namely in that the maps are not contained in the objects, but as you said, are in the arrows themselves. So (>>) contains a map that in its Nothing index has the lambda (\x -> Nothing >>

That's what I am arguing. :) But your comparison is unfair. It's not about weather prediction, I have no comments about that. But can't we simulate it? Yes we can, I play GTA, sometimes it's raining and my car skids mo
