@THarris_Tim @EE Did one of your recent prime ministers change VAT to –33%?

@ch402 Too long indeed! Hope you’re doing well, Chris!

@stephenrkell Also I’d question whether “X is hard to use” implies “X is not influenced by an ICFP’97 paper.” 😃

Less facetiously I suspect these abstractions are favoured more by people who have to *read* UI code than those who have to write a lot of it from scratch.

@stephenrkell A bit like how one might call C# “influenced by Haskell” through features like LINQ, but probably wouldn’t consider the whole C# language a true descendant of Haskell.

[Derek Murray @mrry]

@stephenrkell [Not my field at all, but…] I think there is some influence from FRP to React.js, but possibly more on the “functional” side than the full-featured “reactive” side, so it diverges from the ideals.

One of my favorite parts of working at Google was when @dave_andersen was “interning” at the next desk over. Congratulations Dave!

@lindsey @frankmcsherry in that bit forgetting that many things a computer can do are bad, and shouldn’t be encouraged.

Don’t think I can take much credit for those 221 stars… maybe some of the Issues though!

@stephenrkell On (or off?) the deep end, self-adjusting computation bestows incrementality on more “interesting” types of computation: https://t.co/gOpVjOG8M0

@stephenrkell On the practical end of the spectrum, there’s Vesta: https://t.co/29clOPDEor Although it’s “just” a build system, the caching extends to the functional language inside.

How am I only just learning that @tearsforfears put out an EP of indie covers in 2014? Nostalgia really is fractal…
