@Intronout sadly, only in the homoiconic world of Lisps

And code is data. Data is code.

@samblaise read up on the Hidley-Milner inference and the ML family of languages type systems. Why are you arguing without informing yourself first?

why would you use lodash for just one function? It's just a stupid generalization.

@jp1871 yeah, and it's a method and can't be easily composed. I bet you haven't thought of that case.

And why's that?

@franga2000 Of course it doesn't. Think about a value that must be of type X. Yes, it could be of type X, also might be Null. If a function returns the type X, the same thing applies, but also the function might never return due to infinite recursion for example, or it might throw. This type system gives a false feel of stability and security. Not to mention the verbosity.

@techno848 This is not about web or not, it's about dynamic typing.

Believe me, after working with a real type system, Java, C++, C# etc. seem out of place... I mean, the whole languages. :D

@RantSomeWhere The same with me. I saw it when it came out but passed... mistake.

@AleCx04 Just bought everything. I'll load my Kindle like a porn start. :D

I was wondering about this bundle. You convinced me! :)

@Codex404 It's an ORM, you never have full control over the database. I still don't know why people prefer to learn a DSL, when SQL is not hard and it's actually a very useful language.

Manjaro is many times better than Ubuntu. More stable, more user friendly, not Debian based, AUR. What's more to ask for.

This is like, you know, your opinion, man.

No guarantee there won't be null...

@sharktits I'm not an Ocaml dev but I like the language as the others from the ML family. They are all great

@jonii well, it comes a time when new things are to be tried. ;)

@TheOct0 how long depends on the person. How long and what have you written in Ocaml to say it's unpractical? Ask Jane Street if it's unpractical, ask Yaron Minsky. :)

@TheOct0 It's very practical. And that's how good languages are, complex. Functional programming requires a lot of thought and mental capabilities and that's why it's not the mainstream. You can't employ Indians for 1 buck am hour.

Says the guy who listed in his profile js, react and redux. :D

@sharktits I wish I could do the same...

@TheOct0 someone doesn't like a good type system which actually works?

Who tf would use notepad++ on Linux. There are plenty of great editors.

How did you got this new job? Who sets variables to null? :D

Developers most of the time don't know how to write programs, let alone know every error code.

Plain black coffee. Sometimes with milk.

@error503 That's how it should be. If you don't take them seriously, chances are you'll be stuck with old knowledge.

If you want to be takes seriously, do a side project, for your company if you can. Make it open source so they can read your code.

@geaz why's that?

Working at Microsoft doesn't correlate with being stupid. The guy is obviously decently intelligent.
