Intellij with Scala is pretty resource consuming. It's not freezing slow but on my MBP it's a little bit laggy and noticeable. It's distracting when I keep noticing the latency so I switch to PC to have a smoother experience.

It's sad to see Kotlin took over quite a share from Scala in my perspective. A lot of people are waiting for Scala 3 to make their decision which makes it worse. Don't get me wrong - Kotlin is a nice language. But Scala is one of

I'm not a "Pro User" but I really want a not too shabby Mac which is not Hackintosh at a reasonable price, for years. I have to switch to PC from Mac when I want to play video games, or working with Scala, etc. Even with high

Yes, lack of the higher kind polymorphism makes it harder to express these abstract types universally, but only concrete implementations with Select and SelectMany. SelectMany is similar to a monadic bind, with an extra selector parameter i

This series is extremely well-written and well-organized. Just wondering since most of the examples are in C#, why no Monads? It seems it's pretty straightforward to express the idea in LinQ expressions.

So excited to see this! I played DOS2 last year and it's far beyond my expectations. I was only wondering if there would be another DND rule RPG with that quality ever again. Now it seems this dream is coming true. I thank people for m

In short, yes. The database is the bottleneck because it's much harder to scale than applications. The path of evolution in the industry: 1. Stateful application - usually only 1 server, not distributed at all. It's very hard to s

I have done similar things several times and I think it would be boring. It's Sunday so I guess they are not together. Instead there could be a lot of calls and working on some collaboration platforms. Everyone just staring at the scre

On the contrary, I'm not judging Haskell and Haskell is one of the most Perlis languages to me. I'm judging Java and C# etc (statically typed but not flexible) are Anti-Perlis because it draws too many imagination boundaries to th

I read a StackExchange question basically asking "Why formal method is not popular?" A typical response is "Most of softwares is not building aircrafts". And... After googled for a while, it turns out companies building

You probably should take a visit to UK. Standard Chartered has been a Haskell shop for a long time. There are some others in London I think. And both England and Scotland have many universities teach Haskell. Let alone GHC and Idris were bo

It seems passing closure is not quite scalable since any closure could be accidentally extremely huge. I found for distribute environment, the big idea is still messaging.

I think it's hard to do just side-by-side comparison. Just imagine you just go back to 90s and convince C++ fans using Java. They are all general purpose programming languages, just with some better/different design decisions to m

This week I need to do some crazy validation in C#. I wrote a bunch of plain imperative code. Then I thought I could use applicative validation with LinQ. I tried to wrote Maybe, Either and Validation, and wanted to extract an applicative a

This is probably somehow coded in human's mechanism. People's happiness and sadness are relative, and it's all dynamic. Most of those who won a really big lottery don't last happy as long as they thought. Most of those w

I always wonder what exactly did he mean. I'm not quite familiar with Smalltalk and CLOS though I have tried them. But after work with Erlang for a while made me think I'm slowly getting what he said. I found these ideas are reall

About the Extension: Think about the concept of '+', you can '+' integers, rational numbers, matrix, etc. There possibly thousands of kinds of things that could be '+'-ed. (Actually, this concept is called mono

I too disdainful SOLID. I appreciate this finally has been pointed out. Principles are in fact moral high grounds, without telling you what to do. For example, you need to resolve the expression problem[0] in Java, with Open-Closed principl

I love Scheme and Racket. Personally, I prefer Scheme over Clojure and Common Lisp. It supports multiple paradigms well but not too bloated as Common Lisp, having a really good optional gradual type system, really easy to use reader macro s

Also according to Wikipedia[0] Brendan Eich was supposed to create 'Scheme in browser' but in the end it became scheme with Java syntax. I always wonder if it was real 'scheme in browser' the web would advanced faster, a

Thank you for pointing out all of these. > Lies can be pierced more or less readily, but ignorance hardened into opinions are much harder to change. This is gold. I found it's hard to not be biased in the environment. I also found a

You can't expect most code bases use JSX as template. It's not even praiseworthy if the framework provide every possible choices. Just like you can do anything in C++, but in practice it's a terrible language to work with. Fo

React is more like 'Lambda the Ultimate Web Component'. A component is almost a function returns element. Expanding a component is like calling a function and give it the property. So you can have some abstract common behavior in

It always bugs me when I'm using a framework with custom HTML templating language (Angular, Vue or possibly Svelte), it's never clear what's the differences between them. It's almost a new language but similar every time
