>That's great, because the purity of Haskell does not inhibit mutability. It just constrains it to lie within some mutable context. Haskell does inhibit mutability within your haskell program. Your haskell program does not mutate. W

Guys don't be stupid. Colloquially we all associate genocide with killings, the oxford definition captures this fact. We all know it, you can look up the formal term but when someone utters the word genocide the last thing they think a

Functional programs tend to be more modular than imperative or OOP counter parts but nobody really knows why nor do they understand the cases where FP becomes less modular. FP is only modular when you use combinators. If you use closures th
