Here's my diagram of the Diminishing Returns of Point-Free Style. Some of you are going, "Duh!", but it took me months to grok this. Let's just say it was a 5-step process ending in acceptance. 😅 #fsharp #ocaml #functionalprogramming #pointfreestyle #haskell #apljk

Here's a situation where the point-free style should NOT be used. If it shouldn't be used here, that leaves only two possibilities: 1) it should never be used, and 2) it could sometimes be used. If sometimes, then when? What are the rules? #fsharp #pointfreestyle

Finally, someone distilled the 100 different sources on combinators into one comprehensive paper. Examples of each combinator are presented in Python, APL, J, and BQN. W(recommend) https://t.co/tlpOnj1epo @code_report #pointfreestyle #apljk #BQN #jlang

Matrix multiplication. Transpose the right arg, then generate the outer product table with the dot product function. fi is fan in. T2.p is Tuple2 parallel. #fsharp #readablecodegolf #pointfreestyle

Experimenting with single-case DUs to clarify point-free function args. Worth it? Don't answer that 😅 #fsharp #readablecodegolf #pointfreestyle

Trick! When you're in the middle of a long point-free function, use (fun x -> x) and mouse over x to see the inferred type at that point. #fsharp #readablecodegolf #pointfreestyle

I'm on a mission to make point-free style readable. It feels like I'm climbing a mountain where the footholds are the bits of point-free code that are readable and beautiful. Every time I think I should give up, I find another foothold! Should I go on? #fsharp #pointfreestyle

While experimenting with point-free style in F# today, I realized that the split combinator can be infix. I think it looks nice that way! #fsharp #pointfreestyle
