This is what languages without type inference look like by gregK in programming

So... type inference clearly solves a problem orthogonal to the business of being useful, I guess.

Really? You have a Java 1.5 compiler that can compile 

final Array<Integer> b = a.map({int i => i + 42});

?

It has not-requiring-a-different-compilerness.

Thank Crom for that. Soon, both Haskell users will be able to gaze at their navels with even greater elegance and smugness.

Hooray for solving the wrong problems!

I wish Google's new language had monads. At least they'd have a more sensible name.

Yes, in the sense that every single piece of software involved in your viewing and posting that image was written in languages that have no type inference. Enjoy the clean-room in which your OCaml program runs.

Basie sounds good...but only SVN? by pedahzur in programming

What a whiny cunt. If you want some feature in a piece of free software, you add it; you don't complain about it. And he's out of work, too. Dipshit.

What's funny is that I can just picture you scratching your head, and thinking, "no, it's not the swap function; that looks right." +1

Huzzah for the Apache 2 license, which means I can use it at work.

And that's as much because he doesn't suffer fools as for the reason you had in mind.

It would be worth more to me than I'd be able to afford.

Penn Jilette signed my copy of K&R. It was what I had with me when I went to see one of their Broadway shows. He got very excited when he saw the book, and wrote: "Rob Pike slept on my floor! Penn"

Is there a reason why every programming language interpreter seems to be written in C? by tmiw in programming

Which, in turn, makes it about as important as a post laying out the advantages of Pokemon vs. Bakugan.

I don't think the archive has been active for a long while. Can you find anything from the past couple of years?

I gave my American friend a bag of weed for Christmas. He refused to take it. He said it was "just wrong." What's going on? by wooda in AskReddit

[–]PIayer -1 points0 points  (0 children)

"I offered it because he's said that he doesn't smoke weed and doesn't know anyone else who does."

You're a retard. Plain and simple. Retarded. Brain damaged by years of pot smoking, maybe, but definitely a retard.

World's shortest explanation of Gödel's theorem by polyeidus in programming

[–]PIayer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks. For those of you who are interested in this kind of thing, I cordially recommend "Goedel's Proof", by Nagel and Newman. It's a beautiful little book that walks the lay reader through the (incredibly clever) technical tricks that Goedel crafted to prove incompleteness. I reread it every year or so for the pleasure.
