@EyalL Yes, he alludes to a confusion. Yes, this confusion exists. No, there is no reason to believe there is no consensus.

@dibblego no, he says "yes" it is functional in one sense but not in other sense. Does that sound like he's claiming there's one right def?

@EyalL He's apologising for the confusion and suggesting means by which to avoid it. Have you read Hughes and Wadler yet?

@dibblego yes I have. He's suggesting a new term which doesn't carry baggage of multiple definitions.

@EyalL He is apologising for all the confusion that some people insist on creating with "multiple definition [bullshit]" and avoiding it.

@dibblego no he says the "technically" correct term is the problem, did you even read that?

@EyalL At no point was that ever suggested as a problem. Stay true to the message and be aware of the apologetics.

@dibblego Conal doesn't like the technical sense of fp, wants fp in the sense of "simple, precise semantics". Which sense is the consensus?
