Whether they talk about it or not, monads did inform their design. rxjs literally has methods named `flatmap`

you draw the wrong conclusion from that excerpt. It does not say "Intuition that cannot be grasped without some category theory". It is saying that you need to see many concrete examples to learning something abstract. This is
904.

idk, rxjs, observables, and promises seem pretty popular. Doesn't mean it makes sense to try to write all your js code in an fp style though.
905.

This is not true. For example, The typeclassopedia contains all you need to know about functors and doesn't go into detail about the underlying Category Theory.

by platz 7y ago
Thinking that you need to learn "Category Theory" in order write Haskell is like saying you need to read George Boole's 'Investigation of the Laws of Thought' (1854) in order to write a conditional statement. In oth

Except for the part where discusses at length his criticisms with the paper itself, which apparently you don't wish to comment on.

anyone want to comment on how to choose between PCA and ICA? (Some of hardest parts of ML imho is more in selection)

Number of states of the universe is a quantum value, not a classical one.

Seems like a middle ground between regex and a parser combinator library. Also there was a strangeloop talk by it's creator https://youtu.be/MkTiYDrb0zg

I am sorry that Haskell and clojure people have to fight. You don't see me telling Clojure folks when and where to use the tools they enjoy working with. I think Haskell is an excellent language for servers and API's. It really

Ok, let's not do the runtime vs compile checks thing here. I was just pointing out there are options that solve similar problems. There are other ways to deal with sub-functions not needing access to the whole structure as well. But

by platz 7y ago
If you have messy/dirty data then you just use an associative data structure like a Map in Haskell, just like any other language.
917.
by platz 7y ago
The bulk of real Haskell programs do not choose such granular restriction of side-effects that it's unmaintainable. As always, there are tradeoffs. In most applications, the code at application boundaries live in some Monad that are

Sure, Desktop GUI programming tends to be one of those contexts. But I think those contexts are much rarer in Server APIs, and the internet has shifted the focus of programming from GUIs to APIs. I wouldn't recommend Hsakell for a des

You are free to use a Map in Haskell whenever it suits you. Nothing requires to to use ADTs when it would not make sense to do so.

Elm is like the Go of the FP world. It really works for some people, but others find working in a kneecapped language infuriating.

https://dhall-lang.org/ No tarpit here (no Turing Completeness or recursion), and as DRY as you want.

that's why I find self-limiting forms of gamedev more interesting than AAA games. I'd rather play a half-finished roguelike, gamejam games e.g. itch.io or Ludum Dare , indie games, concept games. You feel the creativity more. I d

There is a lot of bad faith argument, which is exhausting. It would be nicer to see more of the principle of charity; but at a certain level of feeling aggrieved I'm not sure it's a reasonable expectation.

I wouldn't be so quick to assume 'increase user engagement' is going away anytime soon. It's not just a feature, it's the core business model.

well there is some mixing at the solution level. You could have an F# project containing your domain model, and a C# project in the same solution just fine - but it would be nice to mix in the same project.

As explained in today's https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21049374 > While early adopters may accept some problems on the way (like immature tooling), the majority expects a definite productivity improvement with

Still no exhaustiveness checking like a true match expression unfortunately, which is what would give it parity against the traditional subclass/polymorphic approach.

well there are T4 templates for C# code-gen, although I can't say I've ever been eager to use them.
