Virtual insanity

Feels like a good way of phrasing it. I think keeping a whole codebase in your head in a dynamic language is wildly harder than just doing some strong types

Beautiful post

Thanks Rick, just keeping it real

I mean at a certain point, one has to ask “how have you had so many bad roommates”. Seems like she’s picking weird people from the jump

Yeah … who am I kidding? Im going to end up learning it at some point.

This was enough to fully convince me to never learn ocaml. Really awful choices, the reasonml choices seem much more coherent

Maybe, I still think humans writing code they understand will ultimately lead to a better product. At least for now. 95% of building seems to be capturing user needs, which mostly involves communication. Pumping out syntax isn’t the majority of the struggle for most teams.

If you have a team that is unable to use the correct tools for the job, you already lost the war

I am a full time haskell programmer, it is worth rewriting if the current team is unable to maintain it.

A team is responsible for all of its code. If no one on the team can work with something, they need to change it.

I very much disagree haha. Depending on the task ( and language )

Have you never seen a database?

On the distributed process note we have had problems with it and had to create a homemade solution. Seeing what alternatives/best practices are out there for haskell rpcs would be very helpful.
