- The more time I spend teaching imperative/OOP programmers Haskell and Rust, and the more experience I get with FP-adjacent languages like TypeScript, the more I believe the true paradigm shift is expression-oriented programming.
- This bit of Haskell from the standard library is still the thing that blows my mind the most. fix :: (a -> a) -> a fix f = let x = f x in x
- It took me 1.5 years to publish it, but here's my manifesto on Boring Haskell
- Replying to @khalidi79397Like a Palestinian journalist, Iโve died 3 times in the past 12 hours.
- Anyone interested in having the @FPComplete Applied Haskell course on Coursera? I've never done that before, but open to giving it a shot if there's demand. Please thumbs up the issue if you're interested!
- If function A generates some data, and function B consumes it. And function B has some precondition on the data that isn't expressed in the type. Odds are, at some point, you're going to have a bug.
- Is it just me, or did typed programming basically โwinโ over the past 5 years or so?
- I love obligatory cheap shots at Javascript :) Also, the entire slide deck is awesome e.xtendo.org/monad
- I just wrote my first Rust web service. It burns through 100% CPU, randomly panics, eats up memory, and has terrible output. Also, it's a stress testing tool for our DevOps infrastructure, so those are features, not bugs ๐
- Rediscovering an old Haskell lesson in Rust: the price you pay upfront for wrapping up raw Strings in newtype wrappers will pay 10x dividends very quickly.
- "I have a Haskell joke" "Cool can I hear it?" "Yeah let me go write it first"
