The machine itself can generally only do very simple things
I disagree. Assembly languages for modern architectures are a complexity hell. You need books with thousands of pages to explain how they work. In comparison the lambda calculus is much simpler.
The symbolic rewriting is interesting.
I do wonder what "modern-style" functional programming means.
Also their FAQ says:
But considering other FPLs like Haskell and ML, Pure's library support isn't bad
Clicking that link reveals a list of about 34 libraries. In comparison, Haskell's current curated Stackage snapshot has 3340 packages in it (the total number of packages is probably more than 10x that). So, I think it is odd to claim its ecosystem is anywhere near Haskell's.
For example see this comment:
https://kbin.social/m/haskell/t/511582/Defeating-Return-Type-Polymorphism#entry-comment-2765579
There are so many <span> tags inserted into the code block that it has become completely unreadable.
Is this a known problem?
The reason I want to follow that account is actually because I'm not seeing their posts, even though they use #haskell and I'm subscribed to that hashtag (and my magazine https://kbin.social/m/haskell is "subscribed" to that hashtag). Is there any way to get their posts to show up in the microblog?
I want to follow https://mastodon.social/@haskell\_discussions, but I can't seem to reach them from kbin. Usually with mastodon, I believe I should be able to search for that URL, like this:
https://kbin.social/search?q=https%3A%2F%2Fmastodon.social%2F%40haskell\_discussions
But that does not give any results. I've also tried looking up the user directly like this:
https://kbin.social/u/@haskell\_discussions@mastodon.social
But that also does not work.
Is there any way to do this?
