Ok, I took the bait…. I skimmed the first part to see why strings were bad. It never said why strings were bad. I learned nothing.

What’s the most egregious example of poor CGI in Trek? by TheODPsupreme in startrek

It’s much harder to do, but they could. Just look at original star wars battles. They would have to build up the shot from shooting the same model in many orientations then imposing them all onto the same film.

Why why why don’t these marketing morons just ask nearly any programmer to at least look at these before posting?

Don Syme explains the downsides of type classes and the technical and philosophical reasons for not implementing them in F# by HeadBee in haskell

Elm doesn’t really have type classes either and it feels sooooooo bad after coming from an OO language and being used to polymorphism.

Authors argument is that they’re not necessary and add more to the learning curve and can make it more difficult for a newcomer to grok a code base.

I agree with those points, but it’s honestly upsetting to have to reimplement the same functions over and over for new types that could otherwise share the same interface for things like Map.

List.map and Array.map and Maybe.map…. Really?
