This was enough to fully convince me to never learn ocaml. Really awful choices, the reasonml choices seem much more coherent

Maybe, I still think humans writing code they understand will ultimately lead to a better product. At least for now. 95% of building seems to be capturing user needs, which mostly involves communication. Pumping out syntax isn’t the majority of the struggle for most teams.

If you have a team that is unable to use the correct tools for the job, you already lost the war

I am a full time haskell programmer, it is worth rewriting if the current team is unable to maintain it.
A team is responsible for all of its code. If no one on the team can work with something, they need to change it.

I very much disagree haha. Depending on the task ( and language )

Have you never seen a database?

On the distributed process note we have had problems with it and had to create a homemade solution. Seeing what alternatives/best practices are out there for haskell rpcs would be very helpful.

I have a colleague who loves your book so much that he passive aggressively quotes pages of it in prs like it’s a scripture.
An update would blow his mind.

Just like how I am bad at skate boarding, but I dont think my biology determined that. I simply do not practice skate boarding.
Same thing for math.

I think that there are a group of people who think intelligence follows from biology, and they love talking about what “normal” people can and cant do.
Like for programming, I think many people are bad at it because they dont care as much as I do. I think they are capable, but lack desire.

Probably not, I think that just removes the node from the dom

Huh, that actually makes so much sense. It just seems like the machine only ever does a good job with cups and forks
comment in response to

I do it because I feel like the machine doesn’t even clean them properly. Maybe its because I only ever rented apartments that have old machines, but dishwashers are useless

You actually dont need to know addition to use haskell! You can be very productive in haskell without ever understanding “number”

Yeah totally. Im not a fan of the oop culture at all.

I would even go as far as saying modern java is fine to work with. The worst part is actually just java best practices rather than the language half the time

In fact I would go as far to say that the good parts of oop are interfaces,
encapsulation, dependency injection, and some of the design patterns. Some of the design patterns actually work really well ( if you have to model everything as classes )

Honestly out of all the things I dont like about oop, getters and setters were never the problem.
The only thing I didn’t like was when java libs expect you to have getters and setters for every type of object. Lombok helps a lot with this but it’s still asinine

Its for when you make a plan for what to do after an event you can’t control.
Its all planning, but if you make a set if plans and then execute one of them based on an outcome you have pre-planned.
As opposed to the event happening and then creating a plan to address that outcome
