I like to think of F# as concise.

New comment by KurtMueller in "Why F#?"

KurtMueller — Wed, 02 Apr 2025 03:08:59 +0000

I find F# easy to use with AI, mainly because it's statically typed (which results in compiler errors when the LLM generates non-working code) and it's very expressive, which allow me to more easily comprehend what the LLM is trying to do.

Why wouldn't I just use chatgpt or any other ai assistant to help me get familiar with the code?

Algebraic data types are not a Rust invention and aren't exclusive to that language.

There is and it’s called emberjs. Angular counts too (I think).

Why would I move when it took me so long to make friends and find a community at my current location?

New comment by KurtMueller in "Udemy to pay $4M to settle a case alleging it advertised fake discounts"

KurtMueller — Fri, 28 Apr 2023 13:32:57 +0000

It's always a flash sale and it just happens to be the exact course you're looking at and the sale always ends 12 hours from now. Open up a different browser and go look at that exact same course and it just so happens that the sale is ending exactly 12 hours from time you looked the course on a different browser.

It's a sleazy practice and it irks me that some people just shrug about it.

| If he is using it to reword his papers but the content remains the same it's less concerning.

How is that less concerning? Rewording conclusions or the abstract, even subtly, can change the meaning of those words and of those sections.

New comment by KurtMueller in "Python's “disappointing” superpowers"

KurtMueller — Wed, 01 Feb 2023 20:30:59 +0000

Python the language doesn't give you super powers and I would say that its clunkier and less elegant than Ruby and obviously not as powerful as languages like F#. Python's ecosystem and contributors are its biggest benefits and they help you succeed in spite of the language itself.
