Haskell

What does it bring to the table in terms of practicality? Compared to other languages, it doesn't seem to offer anything new.

Are you telling me the developers of Haskell implemented it just to say they created a purely functional language?

What faggots.

Yes.

for me at least the best of haskell is the separation of concerns

I write the algorithm in one module

on a second one I call it with Control.Parallel.Strategies to make it parallel

on another I call it utilizing a lazy feature of the algo.

on another I just make IO and Gui.

>it doesn't seem to offer anything new.

what is "something new", "in terms of practicality"?
Does ANYTHING fit that bill?

Haskell offers a lot of unique and interesting things from an academic perspective. It actually puts a type system to good use, unlike most statically typed languages.

You should never stop learning. Haskell is great for inspiration on how to architect things. You get a lot of neat perspectives on how to handle IO and state. You can utilize these perspectives in the code you write.

Why do I have a strong impression that everyone, EVERYONE, EVERYONE who uses the word "algo" is a pimply sophomore who has never written anything bigger than a couple of hundreds lines of code? And, like, the entire post of >>3 has the same quality to it as high-schooler's sexual fantasies? s/on another I just make IO and Gui/then i cum into her hot sister three times in a row/?

impressions. in fact if you look at the "gpg2 --help" and look to the options of cyphers they are called --cipher-algo CAST5 for example all the way through the documentation.

you shouldn't judge the whole by the part though

Note how in all 37 places where the word itself is supposed to be used, the entire word is used. The abbreviation is used only in option names and parameter names.

It is acceptable to abbreviate words in such contexts. But then imagine a person who uses "programming" abbreviations in human speech, making a point to pronounce "create" as "creat", trying to sound "in the know". Doesn't the person you are imagining have a face all covered in pimples and, frankly, a below average intelligence?

$$\text{above average intelligence} \Leftrightarrow \text{face covered in pimples}$$
Sorry but that's how it works, faggot.

>>12 Sure, that's what guys with faces covered in pimples tell themselves.

People with above average intelligence are intelligent enough to care for their skin.

Okay, I have to admit I'm fairly intelligent and I don't have any pimples :(. But I'm ugly! Let us generalize that:

$$\text{above average intelligence} \Leftrightarrow \text{naturally ugly}$$

I'd normally look for paper where the abbreviation is used but what for.

opinions are opinions. also orange is better than green (feel free to fight)
