Nobody says you have to use sum types to solve all problems in the design domain - and as kvb points out, F# does have OO functionality too. Your proposed problem might be better solved with the Option type and a simple guard to return None

I think folks are lost in the weeds of criticizing the specifics of the example code and not paying attention to the larger design message - that being F# provides language constructs that make it easier to avoid allowing illegal states, an

Well then your formula which contains a division by zero is mathematically invalid as well. What do you think is valid - a floating point exception? That's how the hardware handles it. I think you're being overly pedantic on this

I'm not taking about shapes, I'm talking about the LEVELS themselves. There are no DOOM levels where part of the level exists "above" or "below" another part of the level - they are all 2D maps that through var

>How is it not 3D? It's the difference between looking 3D and being 3D (well, being represented 3D in the game engine before rendering to your monitor). Doom isn't 3D because the level maps can be squashed flat to a 2D grid. Fo

That may be true in Sweden, but perhaps there are other reasons that health and education aren't strongly correlated to wealth... for Sweden. Sweden is famous for its public services (funded through high taxes), so their citizens recei

I'm not conflating anything - I even said I wasn't sure if they applied to Win2008, did you miss reading that? I was challenging the general claim that releases that require reboots don't occur more often than once a month.

That would be the ideal, but infrastructure issues such as this can't be handled by a "free market" acting all by itself. That's because whoever owns the land the infrastructure runs through can block progress, and the f
