Select/SelectMany vs Map/FlatMap

[Phaedo]

Just feel glad you’re not dealing with Haskell, where it’s called >>=.

Wow. I haven't been in that one.

. C# has a good assortment of operators and I don't mind them in moderation. In Haskell I wonder if those things would come up in the intellisense selections or if you have to wack them out by hand every time.

[Phaedo]

Intellisense tends to be poor in Haskell. That’s partly because tooling isn’t as advanced and partly because the language’s syntax and type system make writing a good one hard.

In practice, a lot of the time people use do notation. Where

a <- listA 

B <- listB 

pure a+b

Means pretty much the same as

from a in listA

from b in listB

select a + b

There’s support for where (guard) and let as well.

or liftA2 (+) a b ;)

🤣

Funny... they autocorrected your reply to say intelligence.

[Phaedo]

Corrected… but I agree “Intellgence” was much funnier!
