@kaleidic @notcalledjack @EyalL I don't like or dislike it. I don't know what it means, and it seems nobody else does either.

@dibblego @notcalledjack @EyalL It's a vague, non-formal idea. But lots of vague, non-formal ideas are valuable, even in programming.

@kaleidic @notcalledjack @EyalL I keep hearing this allegation of value.

@dibblego @kaleidic @notcalledjack you can write impure functions in haskell all the time but it's idiomatic to write pure ones

@jneira @kaleidic @notcalledjack So idiomatic is the set difference between Haskell and SafeHaskell?

@dibblego @kaleidic @notcalledjack in that case it is a social attempt to enforce SafeHaskell over Haskell

@jneira @kaleidic @notcalledjack If idiomatic code means "not being silly", then why do I see it used so often to mean "be extremely silly"?

@dibblego @kaleidic @notcalledjack well, we can discuss if use a subset of a lang can be "good" itself or about concretes subsets/langs
