Snak posted:There's lots of stuff I still don't understand though. What's a good resource for explaining the role of monads in language design? Like I get how they are used in Haskell, but in the hypothetical scenario where I was constructing a language, I wouldn't able to implement monads because I don't "get" them on a more basic level. Check out Tom Stuart's material on them. Take your pick of videos, posts...there's even a Ruby gem on github, with an almost embarrassingly simple implementation.

I work in a polyglot web development team of 100+ and we write 99% of our code in VMs (though we switched to remote ones a year and a half ago). It's not a joke, it's very good. Check out vagrant, it has some kind of folder sharing so you can edit with any ide you want on the physical host while still having a sane environment.

What about Erlang? I don't have any direct experience of it, but people who talk about it go on and on about millions of processes on your laptop or whatever.

xtal posted:What we need to do is make Nix not suck, then this problem will be permanently solved I was going to say that nix is already good, but then I remembered how much trouble people seem to have with git, and I admit it's not as good as git. But really, everyone, please use nix.

Oh, if that's the part that bothers you, then guix uses guile, feel free to use and promote that instead. I care more about spreading functional package management in general, independent of interface. Personally, with Nix-the-language, I've finally reached my usual functional language plateau of ignorant competence where I can write some, and understand most that I read, but not form a useful critique about what should be different.

You got multiple laughs out of me, so I assume the audience's silence was from awe at your sheer presence.

I haven't but it sounds like a perfect opportunity to start using nix.  More seriously, it looks like support is still highly bare-bones and you'd have to write all the package definitions yourself except for the three already in nixpkgs. Meaning you'd have to learn another new language at the same time, which I would never unsarcastically recommend. But! Nix is great! And people who already know Idris should learn nix and contribute to nixpkgs! Hence my responding with something that doesn't really help you!!

xtal posted:Having Idris use a general package manager would be way better than building another package manager for every single language but Nix looks kind of hacky and cruddy tbh I love it but I totally understand this impression. If you like the concept, maybe look at guix ("geeks") instead?
