Elixir and Clojure are awesome languages and don’t need no types. Elixir is getting them though, so you weird static type absolutists can finally look at it soon. I even use Haskell and OCaml and Rust which has stricter types than the languages y’all write in and I never complain about the lack of types in languages.
I’m the guy on the right, typescript devs are in the middle
Damn why doesn’t git just use sql instead of Merkle trees I guess that’s just stupid tell Linus to get to using SQLite asap!!!
But no, you’re wrong. Cryptographically verifiable merkle trees are a valuable way to store changing data. Unlike your recommendations, they don’t satisfy the needs of verification, which is literally a great use-case for ssns. Now I’ll admit that the SSN db doesn’t need to be distributed, which is the only thing a blockchain adds to that equation. But you are just flat out wrong for suggesting a sql db 😂
Can’t see a problem with Java on Steam as long as you bundle the runtime and not depend on linking to it
Okay but partial application of curried functions is a really cool way of doing dependency injection and you haven’t experienced bliss until you create a perfect module of functions that are exactly that
Also languages with macros and custom operators (where operators are just functions with special syntactic sugar) are so much cooler than those without (Clojure and elixir my beloved)
Additionally a system where illegal states are made impossible is soooo nice to work in. It’s like a cheat code
Not really, it’s just good practice. You write your application in layers, and the outer layer/boundary is where you want your side effects and that outer layer takes the crazy effectful world and turns it sane with nice data types and type classes and whatnot and then your inner layers operate on that. Data goes down the layers then back up, at least in my experience with functional projects in OCaml, F#, Clojure, and Haskell.
The real sauce is immutability by default/hard-to-do mutation. I love refs in OCaml and Clojure, so much better than mutation. Most of the benefits of FP are that and algebraic data types, in that order imo.
“Knows”
Too much credibility to the backend devs out there. “CSS is too hard to remember” is why things like tailwind are more popular than they deserve.
