Truly! One day I decided to take the plunge and learn functional programming with Haskell—I haven’t been the same since.

Functional languages aren’t for everyone.

I dabbled in Haskell, and my time with it was very enjoyable. I grew comfortable with the syntax over time, so I’d say try the language for a few days/weeks (really depends how fast you learn) and see how it makes you feel.

I definitely suggest trying out Haskell. I followed the Wikibooks guide, and ever since using Haskell, I haven’t been coding the same. Functional programming can be amazing.

I’ve never heard of Unision. A quick look at it and it seems interesting, but very foreign. I’ll try it out and give it my thoughts.

Gators could design better roads. Don’t insult the gators.

I laughed. Well done.

I blocked most news communities. Stuff slips through, but I don’t really have the mental capacity to care about it.

Seems to be the same person too!

Same here!

Books exist, but I don’t think most people are spending their time reading up for post-apocalyptic survival tips.

And it has 333 upvotes! We must maintain this at all costs…

That’s the main issue with premature optimization: do it the “optimized” way and it may still be inefficient, or do it the obvious way and let the compiler turn it into its most optimized form. (Of course, not the case with all languages, but most mainstream compilers optimize the code to a decent extent.)
