Haskell bullshit on Wikipedia

Someone up to speed on WP procedures please 'vfd' this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xmonad

Wow, a 2 week old window manager that steals ideas from other non-notable bullshit window managers, is written in an obscure language, and has a total user-base of 7 people (if you count Xinerama for two, anyway).

Not only is it non-notable and doesn't deserve a WP article, it will also break the hearts of the Haskell community. They've spammed this shit all over the internet and are promoting it as the flagship product of their shit obscure language, but enough is enough!

Anyways, >>1, please listen to me. Not that it's really related to this thread. I went to /prog a while ago; you know, world4ch? Well anyways there were an insane number of Haskell programmers in there, and I couldn't post. Then, I googled for the Haskell homepage, and it had "PURELY FUNCTIONAL PROGRAMMING LANGUAGE" written on it. Oh, the stupidity. Those idiots. You don't use a programming language just because it s purely functional, fool. It's only referential transparency, FORCED NO SIDE EFFECTS for crying out loud. There're even companies using it. Company of 400 employees, all downloading some Haskell compiler, huh? How fucking nice. Alright, my manager's gonna use Haskell for the whole project. God I can't bear to watch. You people, I'll give you a damn purely functional language for FREE if you stop fagging up my /prog. /prog should be a bloody place. The tense atmosphere, where two guys on opposite sides of an open discussion can start a fight over VIM vs Emacs at any time, the stab-or-be-stabbed mentality, that's what's great about this place. Haskell fags should screw off and stay home. Anyways, I was about to discuss dynamic typing, and then the bastard beside me goes programming, with Haskell. Who in the world uses Haskell, you moron? I want to ask him, do you REALLY want to use Haskell? I want to interrogate him. I want to interrogate him for roughly an hour. Are you sure you don't just want to try saying Haskell? Coming from a expert programmer such as myself, the latest trend among us vets is this, multi-paradigm languages. That's right, multi-paradigm languages. This is the vet's way of programming. Multi-paradigm languages means more functionality than fappage. But on the other hand the theoretical correctness is a tad lower. This is the key. And then, it's powerful. This is unbeatable. However, if you try this then there is danger that you'll be marked by trolls from next time on; it s a double-edged sword. I can't recommend it to amateurs. What this all really means, though, is that you, >>1, should just stick with today's special.

Tiling window managers are only for clueless 1337 h4x0rz who found out three weeks ago that every other 1337 h4x0r is using Fluxbox and GKrellM with useless statistics too, and that they can't be all self-important about using it anymore, and so are now bragging about being really hardcore and efficient by having two shell windows and Firefox open and not using a mouse at all, while in reality all they do is download porn and chat on IRC with their 1337 h4x0r `friends'.

Use Windows XP.

KTHX.

BYE.

I guess you've never heard about these mysterious things called 'laptops'.

As we know, Haskell is write-only code. When the original maintainer gets bored, this project will be forgotten.

>>5
I guess you've never heard about these mysterious things called `laptops with decent displays'.

>>7
I guess you haven't either.

No, man, Haskell's flagship product is (apart from the pretty damned impressive compiler "GHC") the Darcs revision control system. It's rather cool, except for when it gets stuck.

It's still there. I can't believe what failures you people are.

I only wish that I could ratpoison for win32

>>10
so whats stopping you hero?

>>12
Fifanit lafeli.

>>13
Etaoin shrdlu.

I've been using Xmonad for weeks now, I love it.

>>15
I didn't know Janssen visited 4chan.

I'm using Ratpoison, will I like Xmonad?  I like Haskell and worship anything that is written in it by the way.

Memo to self, write a buttraeping virus in Haskell.

What's Xmonad? Mona font for X11?

>>19
Congratulations, that was the worst post ever.

<gwern> http://dis.4chan.org/read/prog/1178572744/1-40 <-- damn 4channers! stop AfDing my articles!

lmao

WIKIPEDIA IS FULL OF COLLEGE STUDENTS AND PEDOPHILES

it's true.

03:34:38 <dons> i think it must be a random lambda hater.
03:34:40 <davidL> dwm was upset ;D
03:35:24 <davidL> 4chan is an image board, heh, no idea how xmonad came up on there -- that's quite impressive though
03:35:28 <dons> this was the rant, http://dis.4chan.org/read/prog/1178572744/1-40
03:35:41 <dons> note the title. summarises the agenda i think.
03:35:51 <davidL> lol
03:37:21 <davidL> haha that's hilarious
03:38:11 <Shimei> Ah, 4chan. Only marginally above the cesspit that is the youtube comment system.
03:38:15 <gwern> not so hilarious when you're running around trying to improve the article because of the AfD
03:38:27 <Shimei> I'm surprised they could even understand what Haskell was.

Wow. Faggots. Do they even know we have several Haskell expert programmers here?

OP is too much of a faggot for /prog/ anyway.

>>25
That's why it's called Wikipedoland.

Namefags, dissing Anonymous. Boy, their balls must be the size of a freaking monad combinator.

Though, what they really need is a firm slap on the _|_.

>>26
NAMEFAGS GTFO

>>26
rumor has it "dons" hasn't even read SICP.

Ah, 4chan. The place where I lost my virginity.

>>32
I've still got mine.

>>32
Lies. 4chan is so full of virgins, that if you visit it enough you actually regain your virginity.

Surely you jest! My anus has not been this loose since before the internet.

>>1
Have you considered KPL ?

>>2
is this copypasta/troll/whatever?
I'm not happy with purely functional, but it is that way for a reason.

>>37
You're correct. It's whatever.

AGAIN

>>1
Just read YAHT and you will be a much happier troll, trust me.

What the fuck is "Afd"?

Bitches don't know 'bout my loeb.

I think I'll rage a bit now.

Goddammit wikipedia is trolling us.

>>45
Seconded. Afd =?

>>49
Articles for Deletion.
Articles which have been nominated for deletion.

>>52
LOL i guess that's why they call it afd XD

>>53
LOL!

>>53-54
Same goddamn person, and to be quite frank I'm getting sick of this exponential trolling on /prog/.

>>55
I believe this is actually logarithmic trolling, what with the diminishing returns.

>>55,56
LOL i guess that's why this board is called random xD
