I like this, it's like when they teach you mathematics without _really_ teaching you the 100% correct version because you're not really ready yet. I imagine the approachability of a lot of Haskell material to beginners suffers from being ov

Speaking as someone who's brain has been broken by OOP, I found this article quite illuminating and would love to see more of the hardcore haskell/ML/FP guys weigh in.

I'd imagine you're unnecessarily polluting the type with unused functionality, no? (not sure if this is true, perhaps GHC is smart about it). If nothing else, superfluous derives would seem to distract/obfuscate your intent.

CoffeeScript is essentially JavaScript with a different syntax, while this is a completely different language that just happens to have JavaScript as it's primary build target (which makes a lot of sense if you think about Functional Reacti

Can't help but upvote half the replies in this thread. Sometimes I forget how many ridiculously smart people hang out around here. Happy to be amongst you all, even as a generally passive participant.

"Wouldn't it be nifty to have that color picker in Vim?" a friend posed the question after my showing him the video. Maybe: http://www.supaspoida.com/2011/10/26/a-short-story-about-a-t... (note: I didn't develop this, just sharing it with

While I generally agree with your sentiment, I will say that I use http://danielchoi.com/software/vmail.html Vmail (vim-gmail) daily and quite like it. Some of us don't mind Vim throwing in the proverbial kitchen sink :)

Most other (good?!) languages should allow you to define monadic data structures fairly easily. Many languages are able to make use of monads, the difference being that Haskell leaves you (almost) no other option.

Right, but that's generally in reference to more LoC > less LoC. It's usually agreed that accomplishing the same thing in less lines of code is, of course, better. (As long as you've maintained readability, etc)

I've found it will usually try to match against tracks in their database (sometimes to my chagrin) I've never tried a completely untagged file before though... so report back when you find out?

The metaprogramming capabilities in Clojure greatly exceed those of Ruby, so that's a bit of a weak argument if you're impressed by things of that nature. Also one shouldn't forget about Clojure's concurrency model and functional purity whi
