I see you've been cultured by typescript and js.

> I said roughly equivalent which means isomorphic.

"roughly equivalent" isn't the definition of isomorphic, and I hinted which properties a type system and the runtime have to support for that isomorphism to be manifested in a language implementation, which isn't there for all of the mainstream languages, unless you're willing to provide that conversion by hand.

You're simply wrong, that happens.

That terminology only exists as a coping mechanism for those on the mainstream languages. In Haskell everything is functional composition, and `IO a` is neither exempt from it, nor is made into a special case. When you realise this I'll congratulate you on becoming less ignorant.






I’m not continuing this further. The thread has turned from discussion to conflict and we are both at fault. I’m ending it here and pray that dang doesn’t come along and flag the whole thing. Good day to you sir.

This thread is a good reminder not to try to become a Haskell Programmer

Many people say the same when they see pro players in their game at the NFL's Super Bowl. Others get excited and pursuit the career.


It’s eye opening if you get it. I realize this thread is childish and arrogant but that’s largely orthogonal to the epiphany you gain from grokking Haskell.
