That's a strong claim. While I'm sure the sentiment is understandable for some fields of academia, others have produced significant results that have been adopted by the industry, sometimes very quickly. Machine Learning has a lot

Any similar resource for other functional languages, that go deep into justifying language features, explaining their implementations and the underlying runtime? I come across way too many tutorials or books that only show how to use the sy
