Start-ups should strongly consider F#. It's a force multiplier when you have a small team of strong developers.

> Why two cloud providers? Initially we used only DigitalOcean, but a data intensive SaaS like tap needs a lot of cloud resources and AWS have a generous $1,000 credit package for self-funded startups. So some Kubernetes experts migrated

This seems like a cool article, but it isn't readable without Haskell background knowledge. > For an intuition why this is true, consider that the constant functor Const r has an Applicative instance whenever r is a monoid, because

Weird feeling knowing that an ecommerce / wallet store has employees with more advanced programming knowledge than most financial institutions.

1. Wrapping is more code than using a built-in pipe operator 2. There is a run-time overhead to wrapping IMO a design goal of programming langauges should be for the most readable code to also be the most performant. Language features tend

There is more than one proposal; the F#-style one doesn't have the (weird) placeholder syntax. > You can still make it work by adding it to the prototype This is exactly what we want to avoid!

Pipes are great where you want to chain several operations together. Piping is very common in statically typed functional langauges, where there are lots of different types in play. Sequences are a common example. So this: xs.map(x =&

Sad that the pipe operator proposal seems to have stalled. The F# version of the proposal was probably the simplest choice.

Brexit made this far less likely - but perhaps people in France, Germany, Spain, etc. could do this.

Functional Programming hasn't even been tried for game development, really. There is a lack of overlap between the game dev industry and academia. The studios are (rightly) risk averse and try to use the same broad strategies to build

Also a bit scary to have a system without a scaling mechnism built-in in the path of customer traffic. At some point you may be racing to upgrade it.

Python is really bad at recursion (part of why it's not appropriate for functional programming), so perhaps an unfair benchmark? A Pythonic implementation would use loops and mutation.

I think what Meta is doing is really smart. We don't really know where AI will be useful in a business sense yet (the apps with users are losing money) but a good bet is that incumbent platforms stand to benefit the most once these use

Terraform is not really a competitor. Maybe Nomad is? I expect most K8s shops use a bit of Terraform, maybe Vault, etc.

Google support Kubernetes, so there's precedent there. I could see Microsoft keeping things open too. So far they have done OK with GitHub and NPM.

Like most public policy issues, a balance needs to be struck. Typical SUV trips could easily be done in a lighter vehicle or even no vehicle at all.

Article implies that free public transport lead to increases in car traffic. But we have to wonder, would it have been even worse without free public transport?

Excel single-handedly keeps VB alive; it has a huge amount of sway over what langauges people use and learn - so why settle for Python?
