You forgot to read all the text you just copied: "we mention this not because our language design is focused on performance, but merely to point out that heavy use of reference immutability, ...has not come at the cost of performance

I'm still not sure where you read that mutable state is impossible in FP. If you don't mind me quoting, I believe it says: "In most FP languages, variables are declared immutable by default." That doesn't sound like a claim that mu

Great points. I recommend actually reading the paper behind the blog post ( http://research.microsoft.com/pubs/170528/msr-tr-2012-79.pdf ). I guarantee it'll blow your mind how well the system works. It's much more compete than you imagined

I'm not even sure why that's necessary. If you need a block of performant code, use unsafe C# (no array bounds checking, unmanaged pointers, etc). Otherwise, C# runs pretty fast the way it is.

The genius of Linq is that it makes parallels between SQL and parts of functional programming. A lot of .NET devs have grown up using SQL and aren't looking to make changes. Instead of forcing devs to do functional programming, they made FP

Wow, this is the worst article I've seen on hacker news front page in a very long time. C# has a tremendous potential for functional programming. There's some features that make a pure functional style easier and prettier in haskell, but C#

I think this article is great. However, I think you should spend a little more time (like your last comment) describing why this is important; make it obvious why people should appreciate your work. I, for one, wish I was better at memory m

When "the list of parameters gets unweildy" and "I want multiple returns" are to major indicators that you got some anti-patterns going on. I think the refactoring that you need might a new class with a single responsibility.

A friend passed me this article. Despite that it has some serious holes, it also has some serious truth to be reckoned with. Sure, if you learn the fundamentals you can keep your skills from going stale. But statistics indicate that it's pr

I usually reject pull requests with no tests. For one, tests often do a better job describing what the pull request is for than the actual description. Also, it's easier if they think through all the corner cases. It's true, it makes a bigg

I promise I'll publicize the results. I just need to get an objective measurement of what's real versus what everyone thinks is real.
