Linguist, Musician, Gamer, and lately also Functional Programmer. Yeah. Sounds about right.

@thanethomson Was nice to read your experience trying Haskell. I can tell you I don't understand Category Theory either, but have used Haskell professionally for 8+ years now. (yes, in production)
I hope you'll give it a go at a later stage, to maybe see how it feels making a full program :)

I have just signed this EU initiative to prevent video game publishers from killing video games: https://t.co/xUBo4q7IOB . Sign it and share it!

@ChShersh @kerckhove_ts Wait... everything is always in scope everywhere?!

[Felix Paulusma @FPaulusma]

@_voidzero @kerckhove_ts Joke's on you, in Japan they also use "zeni/sen" as 1/100th of a yen.😜
(but you'll only see it on stuff like your energy/gas bill, not in cash)

@HaskellOrg v3.10.3.0 is out... so I should install v3.10.2.0?! 🤔

[Felix Paulusma @FPaulusma]

@kerckhove_ts Yessssssss *fist pump*

[Felix Paulusma @FPaulusma]

@kerckhove_ts Is this using the new custom WARNING pragma? What is the warning called that triggered this?

[Felix Paulusma @FPaulusma]

@jneira @NickSeagull In any case, if this is a driving force for engagement and improvement, in any way, I'm all for it

@ProgrammerDude Het gedeelte uit je loon (5,5%) gaat natuurlijk omhoog hoe meer je verdient. (grofweg €250/mnd voor mij, dacht ik)
Maandelijkse zorgverzekeringskosten die je direct betaalt staat "vast" (zelfbepaald tot op een zekere hoogte, voor mij €180)
Totaal voor mij = €450/mnd

@hmemcpy That's why I love declarative style (like I get with Haskell). It makes making sense of data flow real easy. (or at least much more than other languages IME)

[Felix Paulusma @FPaulusma]

@piq9117 I also always write my JSON instances myself. But prefer to use do notation in the FromJSON, with RecordWildCards so you bind to the fields explicitly and `pure MyType{..}` at the end, so that reordering of fields in the data type won't suddenly "break" your instances.

[Felix Paulusma @FPaulusma]

@swlkr @piq9117 The joke being there's a bit more than 1 tweet, but I do get way more Haskell tweets than OCaml ones (in my TL)

[Felix Paulusma @FPaulusma]

@swlkr @piq9117 Tell that to all the Haskell tweets in my timeline, where there's like 1 stray tweet mentioning OCaml 🙃
(jokes aside, I love more people are learning OCaml, makes the step to Haskell easier too 😏)

[Felix Paulusma @FPaulusma]

@graninas Do you know which Haskell material calls it that?

[Felix Paulusma @FPaulusma]

@graninas @DanielWalm60394 The reddit you link immediately explains the List monad isn't non-deterministic/-ism, though; just that it can be _used_ to model non-determinism. 🤔
For me, that's an example of the great community helping clear up a misunderstanding.

[Felix Paulusma @FPaulusma]

@AdrianSieber @Airsequel Bad press? Which are you talking about?

By the by, I also use Haskell in production (loving it) and am also always wondering where the community issues are. But different people have different experiences, I guess 🤷

[Felix Paulusma @FPaulusma]

Hmmm, I'm kind of excited to add to the `http-types` package, but it's not seen much activity in recent years. @aristidb Would you mind me co-maintaining it?

[Felix Paulusma @FPaulusma]

@ToniBabelony I appreciate the triple pun
