Magic Functors

Hey, just been learning some new programming techniques,

whats your opinion of the use of magic functions in large scale development /prog/?

magic functions as in http://www.vldb.org/conf/1987/P021.PDF ?

>>2
no, Im talking about magic funtors.. do you have exp. using them?


void magic()
{
   cout << "I'm a magic function LOL" << endl;
}

void main()
{
   magic();
}

>>4
Side effects, in my functions??

That's magic.

>>5
its more likely than you think

I lauged out loud aghaha

Functors are the retarded way that Java forces you to do function passing.

All decent languages allow for direct passing of functions or at least function pointers. None of this retarded class functorX impliments functorForReallyLongClassNamesInJavaLOL crap.

    class Arrow a where
        arr :: (b -> c) -> a b c
        pure :: (b -> c) -> a b c
        (>>>) :: a b c -> a c d -> a b d
        first :: a b c -> a (b, d) (c, d)

wrong thread :(

class Functor f where
    fmap :: (a -> b) -> f a -> f b

all decent languages allow you to do this:
function a(x){
 Function.prototype.toString=function(){return x};
 alert(a);
}
a('lol whut');

Javascript is not a decent language.

But yes, any language that doesn't offer first class functions is crippled.

JavaScript IS decent. It has decent features. It only suffers from lack of standard library (no, not sucky library, just no library), shitty for in, and stupid string<=>int autoshittical conversion.

Javascript.. more liek Jabbascript amirite?

lol Toy Language

First place a fleshlight   for the second   coming of the   latest open source   Easily learned syntax   Broad database connectivity   Massive library of   contributed extensions General?

Are you GAY?
Are you a NIGGER?
Are you a GAY NIGGER?

If you answered "Yes" to all of the above questions, then GNAA (GAY NIGGER ASSOCIATION OF AMERICA) might be exactly what you've been looking for!

Bringing /prog/ back to its people
