@puffnfresh@dysinger@shit_so_says@raganwald I hear this line, and yet FP has failed to see mainstream adoption. Why? -
@bascule@dysinger@shit_so_says@raganwald it has seen mainstream adoption, but in any case, you think popularity implies worth? -
@puffnfresh@dysinger@shit_so_says@raganwald popularity means people are capable of learning it and applying it in the real world -
@bascule@puffnfresh You can use the same argument against GPG. Does it mean GPG is wrong? I don't think so. -
@_mlen@puffnfresh yes, yes it does. http://www.gaudior.net/alma/johnny.pdf - 4 more replies

@KirinDave I'm afraid I can't classify the problems with FP in terms of categories and morphisims. Maybe that makes me dumb -
