Monad transformers are the workaround for monads don't compose. Look at "Appendix I: Look Ma, No Transformers!" on the page to show benefit. Can compose and don't need the transformers.
Because I'm not from the US and I couldn't give a shit about yet another random, mass murdering there. Not all countries in the world have the US's hyper-sensitivity to race (really just black ppl - I never seem to hear about Asians, Indians, native Americans there, etc).
Sounds nauseating. As an introvert, I can't comprehend how people have the energy for this. (At a significant disadvantage to my own startup, I admit.)
This article resonates with me. It perfectly matches both how I view my own startup, and how I feel when I read about other startups online (the vast majority of which happen to be in the US). I'm Aussie; maybe it is a cultural thing?
> Rust is for people who […] program in Haskell for fun. Go is for people who have a job to do.
Typical condescending PL bullshit. So many programmers like to say that their PL of choice is meant for work and the rest are cute toys. Such widespread ignorance and stupidity saddens me.
I don't agree with him but I don't think such a view should warrant his resignation. He didn't say "no females in science!", he said "scientists should work in gender-segregated labs".

No, communicating a plan constitutes what linguists call a "communication system" which doesn't necessarily meet their definition of a language.
> "if you are using machine language [...] All you have to work with at that level are binary codes which you store in a list and feed to a processor; no logical, no iterative, no conditional constructs are there for you."
What? JE, JNE, JGE, JNZ and so on are obviously conditional. And logical. What the hell is wrong with this author?

"Why didn’t you just use React?" "We like knowing in detail how code works". Such a common motif these days. Cool I hope that was worth 2 months of x devs' time.
