[About cuncurrency:] My problem with the functional programming cure to this problem is that I haven’t seen a cure yet that’s better than the problem. Maybe it’s me. Maybe my tiny Ben brain just can’t comprehend the magic and majesty of OCaml, but every time I’ve tried to learn a new functional language, it’s ended it disaster. First with Erlang, and then Haskell, I’ve now had two aborted attempts to understand the supposed cure to the concurrency problem. The languages are just too complex, too terse, and absolutely full of academic shitheaddery. I mean, seriously, what the hell.

that really made my morning
