Democratic Socialist politics and pure functional programming, especially Haskell. He/him. You have been warned.

Well, outbreaks of sanity and intelligence would be pretty surprising at this point...

As an American watching America, it could be anything. I wouldn't be that surprised to find he's given the order to nuke Minneapolis at this point.

Think I may get to actually be a compiler engineer for a bit here. Discovered that GHC has some pretty ripe opportunities for codegen improvements for AArch64

I think Haskell adoption would be greater if we all started pretending that those category theory names were, in fact, really just obscure Star Wars references. Do you remember the time when Wedge Antilles met Tambara and Yoneda on the planet Endo? No? Well, it was in the books...

Making your own programming language is the final boss fight of yak shaving.

We wanted to understand how mRNA vaccines work. So we talked to three cocaine addicts in a gas station bathroom off Route 6.

Just had a chat with my Dad, who spent the afternoon tracking down a fence post error in his code, about how folds are dramatically superior to for loops (he doesn't disagree). :-)

Ah, sorry. Yes- the deep connections between folds, monoids/semigroups, and functors is fascinating. And pragmatically useful.

30.01.2026 21:33 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0

That's not the type foldr has. Given that Endo b = b -> b, that would give my first (and preferred) alternative: (a -> b -> b) -> f a -> b -> b.

I mean, obviously we can't fix it now. But jesus. This probably breaks the top five worst mis-features of Haskell.

30.01.2026 20:33 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0

OK, so why the fsck is foldr's type:
(a -> b -> b) -> b -> f a -> b
and not:
(a -> b -> b) -> f a -> b -> b
Or at least:
(b -> a -> b) -> b -> f a -> b
?

No wonder I can never remember what order the arguments go in- we're switching argument order halfway through the type.
