.@puffnfresh @nvanderw Except for the part where thousands of applications were shipped, billions $, etc…don't you write JS for a living?

@bitemyapp Right, not like any major games devs have some out in support of FP... oh wait http://functionaltalks.org/2013/08/26/john-carmack-thoughts-on-haskell/ … /cc @puffnfresh @nvanderw

.@purefn @puffnfresh @nvanderw Mistake in thinking I'm not an FP'er - also Carmack is brilliant and he's still having trouble with the game.

.@purefn @puffnfresh @nvanderw this is a man who given a C compiler, could hack up the same project in a single weekend.

@bitemyapp @puffnfresh @nvanderw that just shows even the best need to work at new ways of solving problems

@purefn @bitemyapp @puffnfresh @nvanderw yet another example of people overvaluing familiarity

.@jedws @purefn @puffnfresh @nvanderw well we don't teach people Chinese just to speak faster. Value cannot be overcome by overhead.

@bitemyapp @jedws @puffnfresh @nvanderw ate you saying learning is overhead? Or do you think it comes from something else?
