I've used it for a while, and overall I love it. Easily my favorite language by a large margin I've been paid to use. We use it exclusively on the server side at Verizon Labs, and it's quite beloved by all. We lean hard on

If you are not paying top of market wages, one or more of the following has to be true: 1. You don't believe top developers are intrinsically 'worth' the amount that FB/Goog/Amzn/ and many other SV companies pa

the term 'function' refers to a true function, no side effects. So, when I say "FP", that's what I mean. >so I'd actually disagree and say that your Scala code isn't FP, since it emphasizes transformat

Don't agree with this. Usually, when people refer to "OO", they're talking about subtype-polymorphism along with OO 'encapsulation' of mutable state. These are very distinct from a FP approach. Note that in S

It is not generational wealth transfer, it is wealth transfer from the poor/middle class to the rich. It just so happens a lot of the 'rich' are boomers and not rich are millennials, but that's current happenstance.

Kotlin/Go are really not more modern than Haskell/Scala or heck even OCaml.

well, a 'reader' monad is a monad over a Function[A, B]. So yes, when you say 'the reader monad', what you (probably?) mean is the instance it operates on, which would be a function. You use the reader monad the thread

OCaml is a much more modern language than Go.

Given the fact that OCaml seems to be adding type class support and has support for monadic comprehension (do/for), it seems like these ideas are getting adopted in multiple places. As a Scalaz committer and as a developer working at o

'plain and simple' languages encourage and often necessitate 'esoteric and unmaintainable' applications. Look at Java for examples of this, and Go is basically java without generics and a much worse garbage collector.

Ironically, after looking at Bay Area housing, Irvine seems a downright bargain. The Irvine company has also been courting medical and technology companies, so even as the housing shortage continues, they'll have plenty of doctors and

I disagree that the correct term is 'dodge'. One argument against inflation detractors is that Inflationary growth of the money supply helps those who have debt the most. However, that doesn't end up being the working class,

mutability increases complexity by 10x. Higher kinded types do not, they're unfamiliar and a bit weird at fist, but end up simplifying things . Abstractions make code easer to reason about (Go read about parametricity! really!). Mu

Isn't it more likely that after shipping a 'named' consumer product, many of those engineers rose in value a tremendous amount and rather than negotiate a raise they took a huge salary bump working for Apple/Google?

I guess the argument against your move would be potential future earnings. If you top out at your current salary, you made the right choice. But if you continue on an upward trajectory, what do you think the top money (as an employee) coul

I think this is even overblown. Verizon makes heavy use of Scalaz, but not all projects are done in 'scalaz' style. This works out OK. There isn't always time to onboard new folks to a fully functional style (which is the

Scala seems to do all these. Unfortunately it also has a bit of a messy OO system that can make inference more painful than the aforementioned options, but life's about trade offs I suppose...
