@jonliedtke It doesn't bother me that it's there, but it's just the least important thing we could have spent our time and taxpayer money on by miles and miles.
@Adev@blelbach Let's not reply to a bad take with an equally bad take. Haskell is useful for real-world programming too. As for monads? Well, there is more about them than IO, but not understanding that doesn't invalidate a persons opinions on programming as a whole.
@el0j@tsoding It's not. It's about as memory safe as C++: if you use the good parts, it's pretty easy to write mem-safe code. Nothing stops you from writing overruns in Delphi, or not freeing your memory, or anything else C-like...
I wrote a massive blog post containing many of the things the C++ team at Microsoft worked on last year, please read it for my gratification, thanks
