Not sure if you're making a joke about this, but Ed Witten tried a number of fields before settling on theoretical physics.

This is hilarious and I'm looking forward to seeing what it says about itself.

I see. So who are these "agents of a certain agency" you're referring to? Can you be specific?

That's a rather drastic generalization! As a counterpoint I've worked on professional teams with, what, 20 or 30 different Haskellers over the years and the number of "toxic, dramatic, dogmatic people" in that set is ze

I prefer the slogan without "probably", "If it compiles it works", because then at least it's clear it's a slogan and not a formal claim. Everyone knows that if you write multiply x y = x + y then it

You can do this main = do let x = foo putStrLn "foo was never executed" but you can also do this def main(): x = foo print("foo was never executed") What's the difference?

Ah! My favourite Haskell discussion. So, consider these two programs, the first in Haskell: main :: IO () main = do foo foo foo :: IO () foo = putStrLn "Hello" and the second in Python: def

Not a synonym, but `Monad` is one of the commonly used interfaces in Haskell (not the only one).
137.
by tome 10mo ago
Is it necessary that a monad "builds up a computation and then runs"? In fact it's very hard for a monad to do that because the type of bind is (>>=) :: m a -> (a -> m b) -> m b so you can really only

And for comparison, here's Haskell's (or rather Bluefin's) equivalent of Zig's `Io` parameter: https://hackage-content.haskell.org/package/bluefin/docs/Blu...

Is it even remotely appropriate to blame without first understanding? In which case, doesn't this perspective completely rule out the possibility of any appropriate blame?

That definitely doesn't apply to Bluefin. I can't rule out it applying to effectful, but it is careful to do dynamic checks to make sure you can't use effects in the wrong scope. Maybe you're thinking of eff (i.e. what s

No, no loss of safety. Was there something in particular you were thinking of? With IO-wrapper effect systems you give up native multishot continuations (but you can always get them back by wrapping in LogicT). You can look at my table of

eff has never been released to Hackage and as far as I know never used in production. I wouldn't call it "real-world code". For effect systems that people do actually use in production I suggest * Polysemy: https:/&#x2F
