wow, the haskell foundation is still around? who knew. just what the world needs, more functional programming nerds.

same, i lowkey forgot they existed. but if it means more people learning to write less buggy code, i'm all for it
ugh, right? haskell is so niche. Like who even uses that besides a handful of hardcore math nerds.
you're a fucking idiot. haskell is a powerful and elegant language used by some of the smartest people in the tech industry.
y'all ever get tired of talking smack about languages you don't understand?
funny how many projects rely on haskell under the hood while you're over here making jokes
lmao yeah, haskell is still a thing. guess the functional mafia never sleeps.
yeah no kidding, who are these people still trying to make haskell happen?
i know, right? haskell is so niche, but i guess there's still a dedicated group of fanatics out there. maybe they'll try to convert more people to their weird lambda calculus ways. either way, i'll stick to my good old java and python.
haskell's not just about nerds, it's actually pretty smart tech that's solving real problems, so shove it
are you kidding me. That comment is actually kind of ignorant. functional programming has a place in the world and the haskell foundation is actually doing some pretty cool stuff. shove your opinions.
are you kidding me. functional programming has taken over the industry, and you think it's a joke?
are you kidding me? haskell has been and still is a groundbreaking language that pushes the boundaries of what programming can do. cant believe the trolling
oh great, bc what we rlly need is more fantasy land eniasts thinking they're above mutable state
bruh, haskell foundation really out here tryna keep that functional programming dream alive.
Wow, what's with the Haskell hate? Last I checked, functional programming has been powering some of the most tech for decades. Just because it's not your cup of tea doesn't mean others can't find value in it. You got a problem with nerds too?
Who needs a Haskell foundation when you've got Online Courses in calculus that contain paragraphs of monad theory lectures
dude, being a functional programming nerd is a++ and i'm p pl us one of them. don't @ me
omg yeah who needs functional programming when you can have imperative programmers with 10 open tabs of stack overflow
do you have a problem with functional programming or is this just a general smack at nerds?
i mean, who needs actual progress when we can update a foundation's logo from svg to webp. every step forward is a victory, i guess
Care to explain what specific problem you think functional programming nerds have contributed to?
yeah, because what this world was missing was a formalized effort to comb over academic papers and call it a foundation idiots
yeah, i know right? haskell is such a niche language, i can't believe it's still hanging around.
oh great, because the world wasn't already divided enough, now we've got functional programming vs imperative programming, and I'm just
imagine thinking the world has enough functional programming nerds ๐ we're taking over, deal with
Agree that it's remarkable the Haskell Foundation is still around. But my model suggests that having a well-funded Haskell actually makes it a more viable option for industries that might benefit from functional programming
great, just what i needed, another person who thinks functional programming is nerd stuff, meanwhile my app isn't crashing
You've ever used a server or banking app online before?
yeah, because the world was just missing a fancy new way to write compilers and nobody has anything better to do
functional programming nerds are just a monad away from ruling the world
yeah, because the world was clearly missing a non-profit dedicated to shoving lambda expressions down people's throats
damn, and here i thought haskell was making a comeback. guess we'll have to settle for the rust neckbeards instead.
haskell? more like hassle and good luck getting any normies to use that
great, another "I don't understand something so I'll just mock it" post. I'm sure the irony of trolling a Haskell community from the depths of a probably-JavaScript-powered website isn't lost on you
lol yeah, haskell is still kicking and but hey, at least they're not rust nerds.
seriously, have you even looked into the work they're doing?
have you actually taken the time to learn haskell or are you just here to troll the ones who care about it?
wow, is that the best you can come up with? you're really gonna insult the entire haskell community
Nice to know the world is still recovering from the aftermath of Java.
lol at 'functional programming nerds'. like we don't already have enough java bros and python posers cluttering up the internet ๐
hah yeah, haskell folks be like "let me tell you about the beauty of monads" while the rest of us are just trying to get our code to work. ๐ค
mate, they're not just nerds, they're the people who will still be here when the world ends and
yep, the haskell foundation needs to update its marketing strategy... i mean, i love the language as much as the next nerd, but being niche doesn't
Haha functional programming nerds, the original loud introverts
just because you're not interested doesn't mean it's not useful. people actually use haskell for a reason, even if it's not a million-eyed hamster alarm clock
dude, how many blog posts about some mediocre 'web dev revolution' framework have you posted about in the past year? meanwhile, people are still building real stuff with haskell.
are you contributing to anything meaningful or just here to hate?
what's wrong with functional programming nerds? do they cause more or less real-world problems than, say, medical billing nerds or
man, dunno what your problem is but haskell is legit.
uh, sorry not sorry? functional programming is actually really useful and haskell is a great language for it.
are you trying to criticize functional programming or just showcasing your ignorance of the field?
lmao who hurt you? don't be such a hater, functional programming is sick. maybe you should try it instead of just complaining about it ๐
Lol, yeah, it's great they're still plugging away. Functional programming may not be trendy, but it's incredibly influential in a lot of areas, like programming languages research and formal verification. Boring technology works, after all.
yeah, functional programming nerds... i mean, who doesn't love a good fold or map function, am i right? still can't wrap my head around the appeal of monads
what's your beef with functional programming. Mate? seems like a lot of hate for no reason
wow, i bet you're a real fun person to be around. functional programming is important, and the haskell community is doing good work.
lol sounds like someone's salty they couldn't wrap their head around monads. haskell may not be for everyone but it's doing just fine without your approval. keep your negativity to yourself.
that's a pretty uninformed take. what actual problems are you trying to solve that you think the haskell foundation isn't helping with?
same thoughts here, and it's still a bit surprising how slow the adoption of haskell is in the industry, it's been around for decades and yet it's still considered "niche
yall, haskell nerds for life, amirite? but for real though, i'm just shocked they got a whole foundation dedicated to
same to all the other functional programming "movements" that seem to pop up every year and die just as quickly.
iremember when i thought overengineering was just a fad
Haha, we can all agree that the world needs more programmers who can write clean, maintainable code - isn't that the whole point of functional programming? How else are we going to keep up with the ever-increasing complexity of software these days?
you got a problem with functional programming or something?
No love for static typing and long compile times? Just what the engineer community needs, more pragmatists.
glad to see someone's still nostalgic for the dark ages of programming when standards were actually "functional".
y'all think you're better than someone else's expertise just 'cause it's not your thing?
seems like someone's got a little jealousy or insecurity about haskell and its community - what's really bothering you about functional programming or the haskell foundation?
yeah, those nerds have been foundation-ing for decades, it's a type-based eternity
yeah i know, right? also can we please get some more accessible resources for beginners, it's not like theBarrier to entry wasn't already high enough
Haskell is an incredibly powerful and versatile language that has been instrumental in advancing the field of computer science.
cool, someone's bitter about haskell still being a thing. the foundation does some great work, btw.
meh, your problem is that you don't know how programming languages get used in real life, or you'd think the haskell foundation is a big deal for industries that aren't even on your radar.
what exactly are you getting out of trash talking a community of people just trying to make better software?
yeah, i'm sure the 'foundational' issue in the world is not actually standing on the shoulders of functional programming, but rather being trampled by its syntax.
yea, haskell is still around. not that i'm a huge fan, but it's got its place i guess.
yeah, haskell is still kicking. but hey, at least they're trying to make functional programming more accessible.
nice burner account for a person who's not a haskell dev with a linux distro named after themselves
ever used a haskell project in production or just trolling from the sidelines?
yeah, same dude. i was expecting it to fold up and die 5 years ago but i guess some people are just that dedicated to pain
