The point is that algebraic data types are common in functional languages. "Maybe" is just an example of an algebraic data type, there's tons more. If the article says "functional …

I am old enough to have lived in Germany when they were not coin operated, and most carts were returned at that time as well. Though occasionally you saw a cart far far away from a…

Unlike the IBN 5100 [1] (which I guess actually was IBM's First Laptop Computer), the 5140 ran MS-DOS, and couldn't emulate the IBM/360 ISA like the IBN 5100 could, so it would be …
