Nice! How long have you been there? It'd be interesting to hear how things have gone running Haskell in prod (and hiring, and such) since your guys' blog post in March of 2014. Gotcha. It also doesn't help that many of the ca

Two questions - first, did you reply to the wrong comment? Seems like you might've meant to reply to thinkpad20's comment, which is about not needing to know everything to be productive. Second - where do you work?

From the README: "Shem is a new compiled-to-JS, statically typed, pure-by-default functional programming language. The semantics are based on Haskell but the language evaluates strictly in a similar way to PureScript." The documen

Luckily, Stack [1] allays a lot of the reproducible build hell that Cabal sometimes provides. I would highly recommend trying Stack out before deciding that the Haskell package management system is a dealbreaker for you. More and more open

To be fair, we don't know if `Baz` is a pointer or value receiver in the parent example. So it could: https://play.golang.org/p/fYO8jBbVQ5

Could you elaborate on what some other solutions are?

Correct, which is what the parent was asking about. :)

Here's a great blog post by the author of Martini about why, after he had gained experience in Go, he came to realize that Martini isn't very idiomatic: https://codegangsta.io/blog/2014/05/19/my

It does look better, but `value` will only be accessible inside the block. That's a no-go if you want to perform actions with `value` below.

Is there a reason you chose to `pass` instead of the more explicit `return None`? The former seems like it would be less idiomatic since its return value is not explicitly stated.

In a similar vein, here's Garfield the comic with Garfield the cat removed: http://garfieldminusgarfield.net/ - also a great way of getting your daily dose of existential angst.

Yes!! Strongly agree. Your comment hints on why breadth of shallow knowledge (in web development) is so important: it's hard to apply somebody else's solution to a "solved problem" (e.g. email validation) when you don&#x

That was my first assumption as well - that one of the founders was continuing to work with the same idea under a different brand. Whoever it was, they clearly capitalized on the market opening left in Homejoy's wake. A quick whois

I'm not quite sure how you're defining "general" and "specific", but I think I don't disagree with what you're saying. The point of my comment was more that one of the beauties of Haskell is that posi
