Where's the discussion about package sets? Always comparing yourself to Javascript, Java, and friends is obviously easy

Just use optparse-applicative in PureScript. Applicatives are great for this and the library gives it to you for free.

Yes, it's written by some disgruntled dev or somebody trying to be funny

It's still complete dogshit not to be able to have data there. Odin is much better here, iirc

Yes also the function syntax is weird and ugly because functions aren't expressions.

What are obnoxious types? Types either represent the data correctly or not. I think you can force types to shut up the compiler in any language including Haskell, Idris, PureScript…

Yeah. I am a backend dev these days because it pays more. Backend people have this obnoxious attitude of looking down on frontend without having any idea what it entails. Also demo…

Why not change everything along with it? It can only get better

Why does everybody want to learn Japanese? What makes Japanese so enticing? Why not Mandarin or at lead Spanish?

I suppose like the general American of today, he has just never really learnt an n-th language (where n>1).

Does it support source dependencies over stupid jar files?

Why not use a fast language like C, Odin, Hare or Zig?

Observables aren't magic. They're just shit.

It has no "selling" points. If it had any pecuniary cost nobody would use it.

I mean you still use Java, so you seem to really like sticking to your tools!

I use astronvim and still don't know how to get Purescript to work.

Why wouldn't you feel bad for the person having to write Go after you? Makes no sense to me

Bun would be cool if it worked. At least it's not written in Rust so there's that.

I think Minecraft was originally written in Java and rewritten in a good programming language (i.e. not Java).

PureScript is arguably the prettiest functional programming language and it compiles to JS (or Erlang, or C++, or Go, or Chez Scheme, or Kotlin, or C)

Anything related to Java dying is a win in my book

So good!

There is no programming language as scary as Java

PureScript also has them (as a library).

How the fuck do you release a language without enums?
