When you express it has "Haskell has the IO monad" and "Haskell has the Maybe monad", it's no biggie because other languages have them. All Java Objects might or might not be there (so they all implement Maybe). A

Agreed that it is naive to assume that static types will keep some kind of consistency on the bytes that come in on the wire, but it misses the point. With static types, you do one transformation from bytes to a proper data type at the bo

It's unfortunate to namesquat on 'boolean' if your elements have three possible values. Just call it 'ternary logic' and let individuals decide which system to use.

Code which is unit testable is integration testable. Not the other way around. I test my units more thoroughly than integrations allow. Make the db return success, failure, timeout, cancellation, etc. One of my colleagues was trying to pr

That's not sufficient. The actual things are IO devices, and will sometimes fail and sometimes succeed. No judgement, just a fact of life. I code my tests such that my logic encounters successes, timeouts, exceptions, thread-cancellat

Thinking in terms of monoids can be quite helpful even if you're not in pure functions land. For instance, if you're putting together an on-disk full-text search index, immutability techniques become very relevant (since you can&#

Is this not a solved problem? Why do you need to write so much persistence logic?

Nope, you've got it. Code-consistency is a property just like any other property, e.g. correctness, efficiency, testability, modifiability, verifiability, platform-agnosticism. Does it beat any of the examples I happened to list? Not
