@Oded which is why I find among the commonly used languages, typeless ones have begun to appeal to me the most (javascript, python, et al) as none of the commonly used languages have a sufficient type system to support the really extensive polymorphism and inferred typing necessary to let you implement monads nicely and then use pure functions

eh that ramda thing seems a bit silly. They wrote a bunch of classic prelude functions for JavaScript and their big reveal that's supposed to set them apart is they're curried. Woo. That's nice but hardly as big a deal as they seem to think. They missed out just as every other front-end people seem to on what JavaScript can really give you from the FP pantheon: Literate code.

If they hung their prelude off function instead of R they'd be able to go from R.compose(R.add(1), R.foldl1(R.add)) to R.add(1).compose(R.foldl1(R.add)) etc along with doing a variety of other things available when you start infixing things. They could have done a bind that lets you supply the monad and then chain compositions in that monad fluently instead of sticking with all prefix notation

all kinds of things you can do when you start changing the function prototype in javascript to give yourself a more naturally literate language

but across all the FP javascript stuff I've seen so far, I've not bumped into anyone really doing that stuff even though it can be done, they just do some super basic list bits and a bit of currying here or there... no attempts at giving decorated composition like monads or applicatives or monoids where the composition has a little more going on than dumb pipe

@WorldEngineer eh, if I was going to do any thing such as I describe I'd just take my half-implemented monoid/monad library and give it a few types other than either but more than anything I don't feel like trying to advertise crap, and without doing so (probably even with doing so) it would be a waste of my time. I'll implement those tools when I need them for my work but for other people? I don't want to make a big advertisey website "Look at my cool library and see what it can do for you!" pfah

I'd do that for C# before javascript anyway, C# needs it way more... so damned much repeated tooling in C#, nobody ever reuses shit

@WorldEngineer don't know, Haskell probably because it's so little used the few who do use it reuse a lot ;) but in common use languages? Maybe Java just because every one tries to make their behemoth libraries do everything for them? JavaScript just because front-end coders dont want to write....anything...

@WorldEngineer surely, I don't know squat about it though

I wrote half of a parser combinator in it the other week to satisfy myself that it could be done before remembering it didn't matter and I had shitty OO code to get cracking on heh

woot enjoy

time for me to do the same, The Babadook tonight woo been waiting for this to be released for a while

hopefully it lives up to the awesome trailer

You can't get rid of The Babadook O_O that movie was twisted

@Ampt installed all of the motherboard drivers,but a persistent problem with video occured ( stalling after about 20seconds of play), and i had to pave the machine to fix it. So now it's running windows 8.1 straight out of the box,

hai

@AshleyNunn don't mis-seat your heatsink. I just had to reseat mine, feckin' pain in the arse

only annoying thing about handling computer hardware is proper heatsink application. Other than that it's no harder than legos

especially these days, all the plugs are made asymettrical so you can't put them in wrong anymore like in the old days, gone are the days when you had to remember red goes to pin 1
