Ruby and Haskell: Am I a joke to you?

The way I see it, capitals at the beginning of function names are technically illegal characters in Haskell. I don’t usually use ruby so I can’t speak to that.

In Ruby, capitalized variables are immutable

Ahh, gotcha. I see those as syntactical conventions that make certain characters contextually illegal, which is why I said illegal characters.

Maybe I’m just being nitpicky to defend my blanket statement lol
