starting your posts with "respectfully" does nothing if the first thing after that is questioning the parents genuine response to your original post.

respectfully, get lost with that kind of bs

humans can reach the jungle in a fraction of their lifetime and when technology allows they tend to make their observations with remote cameras.

none of it matters if you hope more people use and understand functional programming

you overestimate how much people actually understand oop vs just winging it, in particular, inheritance and polymorphism

but back to fp, if monads are, and i'm growing to agree with you this, "unbelievably trivially simple," how can it be that "grokking monads is hard"?

i posit that it is only "hard" because when learning about these concepts, we read shit like "a monad is a monoid in the category of endofunctors" - that's an exaggeration but one that clearly shows how absurd some fp texts sound to outsiders

edit: i get worked up with folks that write about fp the way you argue it must be written. for the few concepts i have been able to grasp i have been thoroughly impressed, but i am being impedded from learning more, or faster because of the hard to parse lingo

GhostWhisperer··on WTF is going on with R7RS Large?
this, if you had not know what r7rs was untill a few days agor, or still don't, hit 'hide'
GhostWhisperer··on Railway Oriented Programming
if people cannot learn the concepts when presented with the monad and functor names, but somehow are able to understand them when given different names, it seems the issue is the names are bad

what is creating confusion is this need to sound like a pompous academic by sticking to old terminology that serves no purpose but to make their users sound enlightened and the subject hard to grok

the functional programming community could gain a lot from making it's subject more accessible, not less

what does a blockchain bring into the discussion that you think parent would be okay with?

if the choice comes down to two options, what makes you think it would be between wei and blockchain

i think there might be some confusion here simply because parent used the work cryptographic, but this has nothing to do with blockchain
