You can use most of the concepts in any language that allows first class functions, closures, pattern matching and types. Combinators are just ways to compose a function to create a new function that executes some aspect upon a set (usually

Yea, that’s pretty accurate. So now I’m curious what you thought the site was named after? Edit: It’s not that accurate. It’s just math used in a way to compose parsers using parsers.

A functional programming technique that allow you to declaratively define your language when using parsers as values. If you have a good functional language implementation, the code look very similar to someone able to read BNF. And then yo

Still easily implemented with combinators the whole way down. It’s building an ast, that’s it. Once you have a tree, you can do whatever you want with the result before passing it to a compiler for a language. Here though, just serializatio

It does not. Easily implemented with combinators the whole way down.

Having led the creation of a language/compiler professionally, the number of features that are "nice to have" are nearly infinite. And occasionally a lower priority item that was easier to implement at the time, become far la

Yea, that's kinda what free will is all about. I've made that decision. You're allowed to do whatever you want hun, but abstinence is a fools ideology. You have one life, and the end isn't the good bit.

How about enjoying life? I weigh in at a 130lbs at 5'9", and have the body and skin of a woman much younger. Moderation, not abstinence, is where the happiest life is.

I love it, I don't like pop often, but I like soda water all of the time. And Pepsi came out with syrup for home use, so I just keep that in the cupboard and on weekends watching a movie or something, I'll throw in some syrup. Eas

I prefer to hand write my own. I feel it's over-complex for simple parsers and not complex enough for the more esoteric ideas I have. But I'd love to hear of people that have had success here?

We remember the sacrifices made by those to ensure our freedom. We don't celebrate the warrior soldier, in so much as we grieve their passing, and sacrifices of all who have lost to ensure this amazing country.

Pedantic irrelevance?

Well, it definitely looks like it will be pretty gay! :)

I'm in the process of doing a technical audit of several of these for a government. My favourite so far is the ServiceNow platform. These platforms are great at making use of bottom tier devs quite effectively. They're a resource

It's not a nitpick, it's a fundamental difference between the countries.

Perform, conduct, execute, the experiment, etc... You generally would set up an experiment, after making a hypothesis. You could make up an experiment, and then execute I suppose. It's a noun and a verb, so you could experiment with ma

Low/No code solutions are really eating the lunch of where C# was useful in large internal apps. I use it because F#, but it’s getting harder to sell that.

Apologies, I intended to comment on the same one you replied to, not to your comment. I remember struggling so hard in school to take notes, and then not understanding them. I hadn't heard of you, but really respect what you're do

I replied to the wrong comment, I meant to reply to the person above. The one that asked for guidance, like they were a college student struggling...

Take a look at what you do remember easily, and then game your note taking process, so that you add that stimulus/reward to your note taking. Maybe it's paper, maybe it's a computer, maybe it 's a fountain pen. Maybe you

My functional API's never return void because they're functions and immutability is the benefit there. Returning void means you're either mutating something or interacting with something thing that does. Also, chaining can be

Well, the RTX 3090 apparently has 10496... But I'm not aware of how to use them to optimize garbage collection.

So it's not that you're missing the point; it's that you don't have the same values... That's not really valid criticism.

This is fantastic. I prototype, and the last thing I want to do is set up and deal with all the nonsense when I need only usually need a few calls to a server to prove out the concept. Love it.
