Likes to make stuff; professional programmer, hobby carpenter and cook. FP enthusiast. Early spaceflight nerd. Thinks that people should know better.

As a member of the ironic generation, I will not assume that you’re literally meaning what you’re saying.

I can do FP in any language that supports functions as values, which includes all Lisp variants. But if the language does not enforce purity, discipline is required to avoid impure functions. Which is hard if the team is larger than 1 person.

Already in the 70s, Larry Constantine and others stated that functional cohesion is better than temporal cohesion with regard to avoiding defects and improve maintainability, even though they didn’t relate it to functional programming as such.

Programming with pure functions. Effects are just values until they are handled at the application boundary.

Consequently, effect-returning functions may be called in a different order than the effects are composed, so calls may be ordered by functional rather than temporal dependencies.

{app | app uses rounding} ∩ {app | app uses infinite decimal expansion} = ∅

I feel sorry for anyone working in a language with nulls.
I feel sorry for anyone working in a language with uncontrolled mutation.
I feel sorry for anyone working in a language with side effects.
I feel sorry for myself.

All the problems we could have not had.

Jeg skjønner ikke hvorfor programmet ikke heter «Fredrik Solvang med gjester». Eller bare «Solvang».

Riktig, avdrag er kun flytting av penger uten at de skifter eier. Har man 10 i lån og 30 i eiendeler, har man en nettoformue på 20. Betaler man ned 1 på lånet, har man fremdeles en nettoformue på 20.

Avdrag er åpenbart ikke med i regnestykket.

Privatpersoner har lett for å tenke at egenkapital ikke er en kostnad, og de har kortere horisont, der evt. verdistigning spiller en rolle.

Profesjonelle selger seg ned for tiden der investeringen er ulønnsom og andelen private utleiere øker. Bra eller dårlig?
