Or enterprise environments like JavaEE? Or would complexity in that area, be explained by attempted vendor lock-in? Node using Javascript at least has first-class functions, which makes the code more expressive and readable than a lot of Ja

I don't understand your certainty - the point about law is that there is an exception to every rule. Courts enforce contracts that contain unfavorable terms all the time. And malciousness is not a part of contract law. It's true t

Haskell is beautiful - including the syntax and typesystem, but the performance claims made for it are ridiculous. I switched to Ocaml to avoid the un-evalauted thunk and space complexity overhead. Ocaml also doesn't compete with well

Speaking as an outsider the modern sass and less frameworks look ridiculous in their complexity. variables and datastructures, loops and recursion and mixins all break the declarative paradigm. Not to mention it's all working on top of

Awesome. If anyone knows about this project - how easy would would it be to re-target the backend code generator for something other than x86 or ARM?

Do you know if that work was done in (more-portable) C or in Objective-C?

I think it does too, but it shifts responsibility/breach from the repo maintainer to the end user.

Arguing about terminology and the correct definitions/properties of functional languages only demonstrates the point - that the properties of a functional language are context-sensitive and subjective.

There are a couple of monadic IO systems for Ocaml - Lwt and Async which are pretty commonly used - and enable writing code using typed mutation/side effects.

I personally found Ocaml to be perfect for learning typed (Hindly Milner) functional programming. Haskell with its strong syntactic support was good to learn about Monads and how to work with enforced purity. From there, I went back to Ocam
