   That's a huge assumption on your part. You should show me an example in code of what you think I'm saying.

   I love the Object Mentor guys' blog articles, but they get a new blog every 2 years so it's really hard to find their articles in one place. I remember reading one, I think by Michael Feathers, that was about how sometimes your co

   You mean like those problems that prolog is good at solving? Such as those describe here? http://dangoldin.com/2013/06/07/fun-with-prolog-priceonomics...

   I still have no idea what core.unify does.

   That is awesome. Thanks. You might want to post this on the SO question I asked.

   Done, basically just linked back to these comments. Hope that's good enough. I can't write something more thorough than that right now.

   Yeah I'm using CCW right now. I like it, but it's annoying that the repl doesn't start with (doc) or (source). I read an article from Stuart Sierra where you can add your own user.clj to the classpath and put code in it to

   I'm a clojure newb but I've given it a serious try. The thing I feel most uncomfortable about is the development pipeline and how to debug errors (not necessarily with a debugger). I hope the cookbook has sections for this. For

    Sure, that's a valid reason. I guess I should have stated the intent of my question: Am I going down a bad path by trying to make my game with canvas when I could be doing it with a bunch of divs like this page?
11. 371.▲
    by tieTYT 13y ago

    This seems to be done with divs and dom manipulation. Anyone know why they didn't use HTML5 canvas for this? I'm curious because I'm currently making an HTML5 canvas game.

    IMO, that has nothing to do with it. Especially because you often do know 100% that this function has no side-effects. It's because with Haskell you find a ton of errors at compile time and Clojure finds most issues at runtime.

    > it's surprising how often you _don't_ need a debugger in a _functional language_ I disagree. That may be true in Haskell because it's static and the compiler finds a lot of problems. This isn't true for all functional languages thoug

    I'm not sure because I don't know anything about this language or clojurescript, but I do know clojure and I'll explain the differences in terms of that. \a ;; becomes 'a' in java. The character of 'a' :a ;; a keyword of :a. More

    I like the spirit of this article, but I wish it put much more emphasis on explaining why/when you'd need this. Examples would be very helpful.

    Once you're past the, "what is functional programming?" stage, I'd probably agree with you. It's a much better reference and much more thorough.

    This is an amazing book. I highly recommend it as the first Haskell book you read. After it, you can check out Real World Haskell. To elaborate on why you shouldn't read (at least the online version of) Real World Haskell first: It has a

    I'm aware of it and went down that route. I couldn't get cabal to use the library. I tried for at least 3 days.

    First know that my background is Java so I'm used to write once, run anywhere. Haskell didn't feel this way at all. Also, I shouldn't have specifically named Cabal. My complaint was about my experience with Haskell's ecosystem more than

    This looks really cool and I hope it takes off. I spent 2-4 weeks really trying hard to learn Haskell and I loved it. But when I tried to make something practical with it, I got so frustrated with its dependency manager (cabal) and its lack

    You mean like the Scala and Clojure libraries? You can use those in Java code if you want.

    I was following you until your last sentence. I've never done concurrency in a FP language before, but I do know that writing it in Java makes it hard to get right.

    950 unit tests? The number of unit tests sounds very small. I was expecting 5000+. Why so small? What makes your team decide to write a unit test?
