Interesting, I've never heard complaints about implicit returns before. I really enjoy them in languages like rust. What kind of bugs?

I despise Trump, but claiming that talking about his shortcomings is an apolitical conversation is totally disingenuous. Politics isn't this bloodless process of determining the best policies by rational debate, as much we'd like

It seems plausible to me that it's just a consequence of some contingent aspect of the design of the location system, and there's not a compelling reason to refactor.

sshfs is the biggest one for me. Allows you to use all your local tools.

The way maths is taught in Australia, for a long time the term function was synonymous with the concept "2D plot that passes the vertical line test" in my mind. I was completely unaware of how much broader and more interesting a c

musical notes repeat once every doubling of frequencies, so there are many C#s spread throughout the range of human hearing. The only way someone could be unable to hear c# would be if they were unable to hear at all.

There seems to a large contingent of linux users who are somehow completely immune to garbage user experience. It's really impressive.

The graphical and audio applications for linux aren't worthwhile, or at least they're not competitive with the top proprietary offerings. It's not really about the theoretical capacity of of linux to support audio and graph

Check out Rust and Haskell, both have the ability to derive the interfaces/traits/typeclasses for equality and comparison automatically.

Not a great headline really, C is nearly 50, but most people wouldn't consider it a disaster for everything to be written in C. The problem isn't that COBOL is old, it's that it's largely obsolete.

The benefit of significant whitespace is that you can't write code like this: int foo() { a(); b(); c(); if (test()) doSomethingIfTest(); doSomethingUnconditionally();}

The reason the first element is used as the pivot is that these are linked lists, not arrays, so it would take linear time to access the middle and end. This isn't a real quicksort.

Somebody said it, but it's glib, and not particularly true. I believe it was a comment on do notation, the bind operation, and programmable semicolons. The customizability is definitely cool, but nobody could possibly argue that impera

Sure, IO and ST are escape hatches, but they're not escape hatches that beginners struggling with the concept of a higher order function are going to be able to use.

It's definitely possible to write "boring Haskell". getting fancy is more of a cultural tendency than a necessity when building things with Haskell. https://www.snoyman.com/blog/2019/11/boring-h

Wow, this is pretty damning. The author seems fairly level headed and the criticisms feel well reasoned. I've played around with elm a little bit, but this really puts a damper on my desire to dive in further. Hopefully the core team t

It seems to me that the things people like about the haskell style syntax are 1. Don't have to name the parameter 2. less nesting. You can get the best of all worlds with lambdacase style constructs. You don't need to write out th

Due to GHC's fusion, they're often not even created. They're used more like control flow constructs than arrays.

I mean, they could be, theoretically, but generally authors try to make the number a good reflection of the project's status.
