anyone know what how its broken?

Very interesting work. Is there a development list or some other way to follow progress?
Well, there is the main company website[1], but that's more for "marketing" purposes. In the future, there will be a website dedicated to SolScript itself. This website will be the "technical" website. We already have a domain [2], but there's no website there. Right now, we are working on getting SolScript into production. This thesis was really the first time anyone ever wrote anything about SolScript. Part of my j…
BTW, there's a broken link on your home page: /71of71 instead of /71objectives
TL;DR Reactive programming is ill-defined and over-hyped, so let's talk about types and math instead (plus some not-very-subtle in-jokes about Microsoft). An enumerator is basically a getter with the ability to fail and / or terminate. It might also return a promise rather than a value. An enumerable is a getter that returns an enumerator. We can express all this very cleanly in generic types. And if we take the cate…

What people really want is managed time.
and Scala is now his favorite language, interesting stance to take for a previously prominent member of the Haskell community.
If you want statically typed functional programming, but also functional programming that stands a chance of adoption in many environments, then Scala is about your only choice.

He's an independent consultant now. I suspect the market for companies willing to consider Scala is a lot bigger. If you want statically typed functional programming, but also functional programming that stands a chance of adoption in many environments, then Scala is about your only choice.

You're not paying enough attention. There were tons of articles on reactive on the front page, at least 1-2 per week, for the last year or so. See also: "functional reactive programming". See also: "React.js". See also: "Om".

Same here. For the record I think Rx is a lovely piece of work (as is LINQ btw). I can't think of anything I'd change in the bits of Rx that I've used so far.

And Kotlin, and I would dare say Rust.
And Rust? Does anyone dare basing production stuff on Rust like now? With breaking changes all the time?
