societies that give citizens no way to control their own lives, but put the fate of their people in the hands of distant masters with no concern at all for their wellbeing, invite disaster.

There will be no forthcoming legislation to shore up a century of regulatory capture. This government was built for elite landowners all the way back to Jefferson. The author glosses over it (even mentioning the fact that Jefferson saw the eventuality of a revolt) but that’s (IMO) a feature not a bug.

Why not Haskell? It’s lazy and pure and compiles down to actual safe C. It’s like Rust but better (not to mention how the language LOOKS on screen…it’s VERY readable and intuitive). Furthermore, the entire paradigm that it strictly enforces makes parallelism possible by default.

Also, I don’t know if you’ve played around with the config formats of any of the tiling window managers but if you do, I think you’ll understand. The formats they use are SO ugly in comparison to my declarative config. Plus, Haskell will give you clear error messages when you make a mistake in your config.

Try that with a Polybar config: 🤮

I could go on all day about why Haskell in particular is uniquely well suited to this task. Xmonad is the only window manager that is formally verified. Can anyone else even achieve that with another tiling window manager? Probably not since Haskell is one of the only languages that is fast enough AND can make guarantees about runtime properties that not even Rust can.

Here’s an intro to XMonad from distrotube:

She’d be dead if she tried that in the jingoistic states of America.

What a stupid article.

I’d go Hyprland if you’re looking for something similar to Xmonad for Wayland. It isn’t formally verified like Xmonad is, though.

They’re working on Waymonad as we speak.

If OP didn’t notice, the config I linked also has a Hyprland option. Personally, I’m sticking to Xmonad until Waymonad is ready. Nothing comes close.

ps. I decided to start a sister community to my XMonad one for Waymonad. I will try to post updates there whenever possible.

XMonad would make that exceptionally easy. If you want to try it, I’d recommend doing it on NixOS and just forking a working config that uses a tiling window manager. This is a great config that I used as the foundation for my own: https://github.com/gvolpe/nix-config

Math, Haskell, and software engineering in general.

Obviously, I agree. We are not all the way there yet. But we WILL absolutely be just as bad as Russia in only a few short years. Mark my words. Citizen's United is never going away.
