Plese, remind me why math isnt a jewish pseudoscience, consisting of abstraction and casuistry, that has nothing to do with empirical.

Can a religion be intuitive?

I said that Racket is more intuitive as a language. Haskell's type system bogs shit down. I mean, its like half the language. I might still spend a week or so to learn it well enough so that I can delve into it and master it by writing non-trivial shit but it took me like three days to learn Scheme, one of them just spent on pounding recursion/tail-recursion/continuations into my head. That's all.

Almost every piece of set theory that I've tried to define in Haskell comes out looking very much like the original. This closeness allows me to work in mathematics, and then translate things to Haskell easily without worrying about having made mistakes in the translation.
Often mathematicians don't realise that they are using datastructures all the time. But they are. For example a group is a set equipped with functions to perform multiplication and inversion as well as a singled out element, the identitiy. Haskell makes it very easy to work with structures that are tuples of objects like this. It's also very easy to build one datastructure out of another and even specify rules about datastructures. For example a matrix is a two-dimensional array of objects. But if the objects form a ring then so does the matrix. This kind of statement is easy to express in Haskell making it well suited to working with algebraic structures. If you've defined formal power series over a ring and you've defined the ring of polynomials over another ring it's trivial to build the ring of power series over polynomials over the integers, say.

I think, that is enough to label Haskell as a mathematical language. And use this association in pejorative sense. As most people hate math, they'll automatically hate haskell.

Hm. All very good points. I guess I'll sleep on it. Maybe, just maybe I'll learn Haskell. We'll see.

Associating math with evil jews is another way to instill hatred for it, as jews love math and definitely did some evil to the majority of people.

Math is great and jews are okay. religious jews are just total inbred fucks, though. I'm jewish by heritage and I can tell you that religious jews are most likely all going to hell if they're dying. And I'm an atheist but if there's a hell, they're going there.

Yeah. I think I'll try learning Haskell.

Anyway, since I'm decided on spending Spring Break on learning Haskell and getting through this book I have on it, is optimizing Haskell really the black art I heard it was?
The problem with math is: mathematician uses a mathematical metaphor to describe some concept. The metaphor isn't the thing he describes. But math allows one to take the metaphor, and run with it, making arguments that are built entirely on metaphor, but which bear no relation to the real underlying concept. And he believes that whatever conclusions he draws from the metaphor must, therefore, apply to the original concept.
For ancient greeks Earth was an infinite flat plane with parallel lines on it. Today every child knows that Earth is round, but some "god chosen" jews still force belief in parallel infinite long lines. Of course, jews would say, that without infinity there is no mathematics, but why do we need this jewish tendency toward abstraction and casuistry anyway? Can you show us practical usefulness of your deceptive religious theories, jews? Can you show us "Infinity"?

Jews aren't human, because they call us humans, goyim. So killing a jew is more like killing an animal, a pig (that is why jews don't eat pigs). BTW, PETA consists mostly of jews.
I've made infinite set inside what you deemed a "NP-C" problem and claimed you refused to program it. Maybe if you got off your dead ass you could find an infinite set yourself? :) :D

Complaining that others found math! Go become An Hero.
