throwyourbote··on Did Functional Programming Get It Wrong (Part 2) – Minecraft-Style Crafting
I read this - and I think there might have been some interesting points and ideas in there, but the whole article is way too unfocused to start considering them. I first I thought the whole thing was generated by GPT-3.

Perhaps there is some language barrier, but this article needs to be heavily edited: at least 50% should be cut.

Remove all the strawman attacks - they just make you sound weird, and makes the article very confusing (not the content, the structure). You obviously feel strongly about them, but the writing is not good enough to make them readable.

For example, random sentences like "The good news is that math doesn’t really care what some Australians or overpaid programmers at Big Tech think."... There's no context for this, so I don't even know what are you even talking about. I'm guessing you're being clever - but I can't agree or disagree with you, because without context it has no meaning. I don't even know who or what you are talking about at all.

Get rid of the strawmen and the personal/political rants. Even when well written, they are boring. Don't tell me why other people suck, show me why your ideas are good. Stop trying to be clever, and just tell me your ideas!
