@damncabbage I think sometimes people think there must be more to monads than there actually is, so they invent complexifications.
@gregmcintyre @mwotton @damncabbage This code is unrelated to the concept of a functor. I am getting confused.

@dibblego@mwotton@damncabbage Yes, not sure why Andy started talking functors. Maybe he saw a way to use them to do it nicely? -
@gregmcintyre@mwotton@damncabbage We did it in Ruby around 2008. It's highly recommended as an exercise, then throw the code away.

@dibblego@gregmcintyre@damncabbage this was the original problem - the functors package was suggested, i bitched about the name. -
@mwotton@gregmcintyre@damncabbage Yes this misnomer is not benign. It invites anti-knowledge. You are right to complain about the name. - Show replies

@dibblego@gregmcintyre@mwotton Yes, it's entirely unrelated; I was just whinging about the sorry state of Ruby pattern-matching syntax. -
@damncabbage@gregmcintyre@mwotton Ruby is not good for anything, except to learn from others' mistakes. The cheapest kind of learning. - Show replies
