Did some #adventofcode for the first time in #Clojure, warming up for 2025

Such joy this language is to code with.

I'd be a "fool" to miss this.

For me too it is #fsharp no contest.

I am not sure I dislike it.

I use DataGrip. And LiveBook for experimentation/exploration.

Could Scala be considered S-tier?

Correction: I meant circa 2020

Surprisingly, as I explained pattern matching to my son, he grasped it quite fast, faster than some interns (circa 2010) who already knew programming. Glass being empty has its merits. The same goes for Erlang style concurrency, although no coding was involved there but good old ELI5. #elixirlang

I'm flying right now so can't see the video, but as someone who worked with multiple languages, I can say #fsharp ticks more boxes than anything. It's as super as a GC language can get. For me it's the best Microsoft product.

Also, it's the most underrated and underappreciated language there is.

I think #elixirlang is a great programming language to start programming with, even (and especially) for youngsters.

Going to see if my son likes it. He is 10, loves geography and weather, and loved looking at some of the charts and data explorations I was doing. I know where to begin #LiveBook

For a reminding post like this?

I'll try this library, looks like a nice opportunity to read some F# code (I'm relatively new to it)

Why don't I get those things when I Google for them? I am currently juggling a pipeline of a handful of combinations of S3/CSV/DataFrame/SQL connections. Exploratory and not critical so I might just see if I could turn my exs into fsx

Fli is so great! One of #fsharp 's gems I listed in a blog post urging to consider fsharp. Another gem is FsHttp.
My post if interested: asfaload.com/blog/conside...

I knew about fsHttp but did not know about dbFun, and it happens to be another thing I was looking for. Thank you.

This is why starting repositories is a useful habit, I recall being impressed with this #fsharp library and intended to use it but then forgot the name and googling for it was hard. Glad I found it

But the concept of folding was the hardest to get used to for me.

Since I am doing data analysis quite a bit these days, reducing have become staple food. And I do miss that operator since Elixir doesn't have it.

On the other hand, reduce_while is handy

Yes all variants of pipelining operators are amazing. ||> is another favourite of mine.

This is hands down my favourite operator #fsharp #elixir

Interesting to know some history

Wouldn't #fsharp be like, C#?

I wonder if any other language has this. It was the toughest #fsharp element to wrap my head around. But it makes my code more expressive.

Looking forward to this!

Hmm maybe. I wouldn’t miss any of those. One thing I would have loved having is the vast collection of exportable projects TypeScript has. It’s not a strong desire, but having those lying around would certainly get more newcomers interested in F#

Interesting. I was expecting to see features F# does not have that TypeScript has on the missing features section.

I see what you did there.

That is great! I wish more companies - big or small, had similar mindset. My experience with big companies was more in the line of "Let's inject complexities and keep things twisted so that I am always needed" mindset. Any tool that could help more people were well kept secrets.

It’s rarely the case in reality. Internal tools are treated with neglect and are least maintained. It’s very unfortunate.
