If you're interested in lectures I can recommend The Peloponnesian War by Kenneth Harl published by The Great Courses (also available on Audible). It's one of the best lecture series I've listened to in any subject. https:&

It is interesting that the "of" style is common in Ocaml where the left-to-right style is common. They seem to clash! I would like to know what it's like to work in a fully left-to-right language, for example, to define `my_

Yes, even better example, thanks! In Haskell you get f = floob_of_glork . glork_of_crumb . crumb_of_zing which is much better than f = glork_to_floob . crumb_to_glork . zing_to_crumb

Show me your function bodies and conceal your types, and I shall continue to be mystified. Show me your types, and I won’t usually need your function bodies; they’ll be obvious. http://h2.jaguarpaw.co.uk/posts/brooks-

What do you do if you want to disambiguate the return type? I suppose `intFromString` works. I'm not sure what I chose `intOfString`. It's not because I'm French!

Well, if the word order is the most important aspect (as it is to me) then you have to think of another word you can use instead of "of". I know that in my early Haskell programming I was writing `intOfString` where other Haskell

I think it's a great convention. It means you write i = int_of_string s where the "i" is next to the "int" and the "s" is next to the "string". i = string_to_int s just looks b

Ah, I only recalled that there wasn't a way to prevent DMs from everyone, not even people I follow, and indeed Elon's innovation doesn't improve that. Oh well.

Hmm, well you effectively said you "see the world as it is" and that would typically be understood to be a claim that you have a superior mental model, I think.

It's possible you heard that (there are 227 hits for that phrase on Google) but more likely you heard "if it compiles, it works" (35,000 hits). "If it compiles, it’s correct" is obviously false, and no one should be

That's a reasonable assumption. It's a bit more complicated than being "backwards compatible". The android-support package needs to say explicitly that it is compatible with GHC 9.x, but it doesn't, so cabal refus

Agreed, I was surprised too. Haskell is the only language I've used in which the codebase doesn't turn into a Rube Goldberg machine in the short amount of time (granted most of that was Python -- maybe it's Python in particu

They don't really. for [0 .. n-1] $ \i -> ... does pretty much the same thing in Haskell as for i in range(0, n): ... does in Python.

Maybe you're thinking of `unsafePerformIO` (which still exists) and `accursedUnutterablePerformIO`. https://hackage.haskell.org/package/base-4.18.0.0/docs/Syste... https://hackage.haskell.org&

Kagi gives good results, so it's not a question of being technically infeasible.
