I have new followers now.😬 Hi, I'm a mid level software dev in the Caribbean. I'm obsessed with Functional Programming, Readability, and inclusive and positive spaces.
If you're interested in chatting about Domain Driven Design, fp in the front-end, and t3h memes, hit me up.

Every year I contemplate doing #adventofcode in something besides F#, and then I go with F# and it's great :)
Still in my top tier for practicality, robustness, and expressiveness across domains.
And it's fun :D

FIFA should host an award show called the Fallies.
With categories like
"Best Dramatic Actor in a Home Game"
"Best Agonised Shin Clutch in a Regional Finals"
"Most Artistic Stumble in a Second Half"
Proceeds go to charity, everyone haves a laugh, no harm, all fouls.

Never Scala'd before, but enjoyed this thread. 99% feels applicable for F# and Typescript (fp-forward programming in general)
All techniques have a place, but be wary of complex patterns. Functions and ADTs are evergreen, LOOP when appropriate to do so. No dogma, only tools.

Since this place is going away I'm going to write Mat's Highly Opinionated Scala Tips after working in Scala at three different companies:
1. Make more types. ADTs are great. Use them. More. More. You can probably make even more. Newtype them if you think you have perf problem

Elm spoiled me with supportive error experiences, and now I think about it whenever I encounter a new environment.
Lots of systems are great when things are right. But how clear are they when things are wrong? How well does your platform navigate users from failure to success?

I want the TS errors to be like Elm or Rust.
Elm compiler is your friend and mentor.
TS compiler (errors) are a bully

A new #fsharp course, created by @almirmesic out of his love for F# and his desire for more people to learn about it.
Please help spread the word!

10 months of script writing, video recording and video editing. The cat can finally be let out of the bag. I am pleased to present my course, F# Bite-sized, an online introductory course to F#.

So Functional Programming evolved from lambda calculus right, then there's Pure Functional Programming Languages like Haskell/Elm, but THEN there's Functional Programming Features in langs like js/python, but they're still multiparadigm. Actually, Category Theory defines a ...

Working with older SQL dbs really makes me miss and appreciate common table expressions.
Something something, it's not the syntax, it's the semantics.

Looking for a practical stack for a friend's market research comp that'll:
- collect data from site visitors
- securely sanitise, and store data
- easily slice/export into reports as needed
Got a few ideas, but if anyone has a preferred stack (especially backend) let me know!

What is a super serious important meeting like with @danieltott and @BekahHW ?
"I had a dream I put my favourite shirt in the washing machine and it came out blue. The worst."
"I realized I don't actually like sports, just colour commentary."
"Is Santa Claus a cryptid?"

Every day I beg of API documentation, please please include the data type/shape of the values RETURNED from your functions.
Parameters are not enough. I Need to know what you could potentially give back, nulls and undefineds and all.
I'm a big boy, I can take it. 🙏

I have started reading @kitlovesfsharp Stylish F# 6 after reading @ijrussell Essential F# (which for undisclosed reasons has been my best read in ages).
Gotta say, I'm so happy with both of these books, and wish anyone wanting to learn F# to read them in the same order I did♥️⭐
