Obviously, these objective goodness numbers are the easiest and most reliable way to find the best language, but someone neglected to assign them. Instead we individually convert our time slowly into experiences and our experiences into […]

It’s a bunch of different programming constructs that get put together for traditional, convenience, implementational, or mathematical reasons. Some elements of FP, like higher order and anonymous functions, have slowly become ubiquitous, which tends to confuse the dialog. I’ll try to keep this […]
