First thing I was thinking of when I saw the picture was: Is that Bart Simpson?
Well, you somehow got me. When I mentioned the "everything F[_]ed" in my top post I thought I'd made it clear that I knew the commonalities. And I have to admit that I find these commonalities very fascinating. I can…
Thank you for sharing your experience. Back then when I used Scala this was really turning me off Scala. Good that it all settled and that the Scala community can focus on the more important tasks again.

Even though I see that these language capabilities remove restrictions I hope that HKTs and with them Functors, Monads, etc. will never make it into Rust. The thing I like most about Rust is that it is still a practical…

I never understood why people are looking for things which are boring and I think it is mostly employers who do. They should look for something which is good and solves their problems. I don't know how something with…
Please do not take this (Knuths statement) out of context. It is necessary read the whole text to understand this sentence. It has nothing to do with whether performance matters.
