@dysinger @shit_so_says @raganwald tl;dr: the benefits of FP are oversold and have many drawbacks which the FP community is blind to/ignores
@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 -
@bascule What would you propose to replace it, then? -
@bascule Is that better than gnunet? -
@_mlen it's vaporware, so... potentially!

@bascule@puffnfresh@dysinger@shit_so_says@raganwald I think it has a lot to do with industry/education being slow to change :( -
@mxavier@puffnfresh@dysinger@shit_so_says@raganwald the FP party line again -
@bascule@puffnfresh@dysinger@shit_so_says@raganwald I'm not a fan of this game. You ask for an opinion, dismiss as partisan. :thumbsup: - 1 more reply
