Colour Coding

As with the last release, there’s very little exciting to report.

I’ve been trying to make a point of not talking about stuff that I’m doing and concentrating on actually delivering.

So my friend Steve wrote a long article on why he doesn’t like nulls in C#, and I promised him a good fisking so, of course, the first thing I did last night was to fire up the Ms Marvel finale.

So, one of those dear people on Twitter who have been trying and failing to be Twitter’s Main Character for years published a rant about post-modernist programming.

So my domain name just renewed and entertainingly charged my wife’s credit card (I have no recollection as to how exactly that happened.) and since I haven’t posted in three years I figured it might be time I actually justified the blog’s existence.

I’m writing this down before I forget because it’s really cool.

I remarked last time that I’d wanted to write up a good example of using the recursion-schemes library to solve a computational problem in Advent of Code.

TL;DR; Haskell can process flat files as though they were hierarchal with the help of lazy evaluation and one ridiculously clever one-line function.

Spelling mistakes are cognitive noise.

Last time, I was looking into establishing equality on various conditions on Wai.Request, but established that this wasn’t what I was looking for.
