Southern Fried Fsharp

An F# conference in Raleigh, NC

[Southern Fried Fsharp @FriedFsharp]

The videos will be online but there is some post processing that needs to be done. If you follow this Twitter account we'll let you know. :)

@isaac_abraham It's almost as though mutability is confusing and hard to manage as a system grows.

[Southern Fried Fsharp @FriedFsharp]

@ooobject @dsymetweets Hmm I don't know if that's common usage yet but I think it's useful to help disambiguate what different people mean when they say MVU and that there are important philosophical differences in implementation.

[Southern Fried Fsharp @FriedFsharp]

@dsymetweets This is probably one of the most nuanced takes on this. It's good for MVU to be given some spotlight but also important to acknowledge that the mutability means that its fundamentally a compromise to the approach.

@_cartermp Sometimes a burrito is just a burrito.

[Southern Fried Fsharp @FriedFsharp]

@vamchale Haskell is great, however don't you think it's at least a little suspicious that F# scored 5-10x slower than OCaml? I'm also similarly suspicious that Haskell can do better here too. What do you think? Or was this a goof and now I'm a goober?

[Southern Fried Fsharp @FriedFsharp]

@sergey_tihon @_cartermp Not saying the implementation is bad! I just suspect a little exploration will probably uncover what is going on here. F# in my experience tends to outperform in contexts like these so I'd be curious what they're doing differently.

[Southern Fried Fsharp @FriedFsharp]

@sergey_tihon @_cartermp A sufficiently bored one would probably do fine here.

To be clear, it's not that NC is more affected than other areas, but rather that we are trying to be a little more cautious and preventative.

North Carolina is currently under a state of emergency to respond to Covid-19 (Coronavirus). Meetup meetings will be virtual until the state of emergency passes. Remember that limiting exposure helps us overcome this together!

@tjaskula I think that's a weird enough one that you can just coin your own name. Let's call it switchflop.

[Southern Fried Fsharp @FriedFsharp]

@amihaiemil @github @gitlab I thought this said spend, which would also be an interesting question to ask.

[Southern Fried Fsharp @FriedFsharp]

@dsymetweets @JCMRVA @andygocke Thank you for clarifying 😊

[Southern Fried Fsharp @FriedFsharp]

@JCMRVA @dsymetweets @andygocke I think too, removing it would obscure rather than clarify. In my opinion it would make things harder to understand and learn, and more verbose. Currying led me to appreciating F# and the functional approach in a way that I'm not sure I would have done without it.

[Southern Fried Fsharp @FriedFsharp]

@mistymadonna I don't know if it applies to southerners broadly but I also haven't been out of the south much. It is however painfully true for me specifically.

[Southern Fried Fsharp @FriedFsharp]

@quorralyne I use a mix. I usually like to have autocomplete so I don't have to remember things, because I won't. command --help also goes a long way. For me sometimes ui is harder than cli, but it depends a lot on the application.

[Southern Fried Fsharp @FriedFsharp]

@k_cieslak Shhh shh! they'll figure out and adjust my pay :p

[Southern Fried Fsharp @FriedFsharp]

@pblasucci That's like saying to leverage VB in a significant way you must know C# and maybe javascript, which is also equally untrue. This may be how you're doing it, but it's not how it "has to be done".

[Don Syme @dsymetweets]

If you want to help F# spread, there is probably no simpler thing to do than to go augment the .NET documentation pages at Microsoft. They are nearly always editable via a simple click-and-submit PR.

@jesslynnrose That tests are a sufficient replacement for static analysis, or dare I speak of it, formal analysis. Either that or the idea that you can be a good engineer while being hostile to teammates.
