I don't see what that has to do with anything. You made a bizarre assumption that the financial world is hard for haskell to break into, when both history and the current behavior of financial firms says otherwise.

You just quoted something saying exactly what I said, while acting like you disagree. Once again, a license is special permission. That is precisely what it is, that is the whole point. Saying "you don't have to have special pe

Haskell is already heavily used in finance, and they chose to go this route because all the feedback they were getting from financial firms wanting to use haskell. Your little bubble doesn't generalize to the whole world.

Yes, it is needed. That is what the license is, special permission.

I don't know how you think that was the point. He doesn't say anything like that. In fact he takes the exact opposite position when dealing with parsing, saying to just write more code. Why would something which literally requi

I think it is worth considering that perhaps obvious architecture is the wrong thing to make, rather than existing languages being wrong for making it.

>and the brags need to be objectively accurate No, it just needs to be convincing. Plenty of convincing lies (or unproven claims) are used to sell programming languages.

This is a good example of how hn is suffering from the real slashdot effect lately. That is, people posting authoritative sounding but completely wrong information and getting upvoted for it.

Depth doesn't come from complex controls, but complex controls are almost always needed to be able to play a game with any depth.

100k is huge, period. Whether or not a huge dependency is acceptable depends on the project. Yes, we know it depends on the project, that was the point of the site. The whole point is "if you are making a library, and don't rea

Because 100k is not measly, it is huge. And jquery is hundreds of times slower than the perfectly fine native methods.

Irony overload. What was wrong with that paper again? Correlation != causation?

The original article isn't very long. If you want to discuss it, you could, I dunno, try reading it? Yes, it is from google trends. Just like the data on yahoo and google itself that they compared it to. So no, there is no rational

Literally nothing you said has anything to do with me, or anything I said. Did you reply to the wrong post by accident or something?

What do dependencies have to do with anything? If I make a huge massive bloated mess of shit, it isn't suddenly "lean" because I included everything in it rather than linking to it as a dependency.
