Functional programming is back

and its written with js

and here's why that's a good thing

at least javascript doesn't treat whitespace semantically, unlike haskell or python

A good programming language would allow just one canonical way to format your fucking code. In the end an IDE would do all the formatting for you just like that, getting rid of all the returns and tabs and extra spaces you don't need to type any longer.
Freedom in formatting code was a mistake.

What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you dynamically typed little bitch? I'll have you know I graduated top of my class in the University of Glasgow, and I've been involved in numerous secret research projects on Category Theory, and I have over 300 confirmed commits to GHC. I am trained in composition and I'm the top monad transformer in the entire haskell irc. You are nothing to me but just another compile target. I will at compile time optimize you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of PHDs across the USA and your adhoc functional javascript is being peer reviewed right now so you better prepare for the proof checking, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your program. You're fucking machine code, kid. I can compile anywhere, anytime, and I can refactor you in over seven hundred ways, and that's just with ghci. Not only am I extensively trained in emacs, but I have access to the entire arsenal of Hackage and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little "duck typing" comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn't, you didn't, and now you're paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will compose fury all over you and you will drown in it. You're fucking compiled, kiddo.

That meme ain't funny.

If it counts for anything, there was a real practical purpose for free whitespace in code. Look back, particularly to assemblies and early compiled languages, and see how unreadable *any* code is. Every program required copious amounts of comments to inform the reader what the code was doing. It wasn't a bad idea to allow arbitrary whitespace for formatting to let the writer create a readable program. These days, code is a lot different, and it may very well be true that whitespace should be standardized.

>the invisible part should have significance
No whitespace shouldn't have any meaning except to separate. Formatting like 4 space indentation being memes as standard is archaic stupidity. It doesn't make any sense, its why alot of people ignore it
>Freedom in formatting code was a mistake.
Being this much of a commie cuck. That isn't just call you names because I disagree but a description of someone who want to have no choice, who wants to be controlled.

you know JS is pretty much a badly written LISP interpeter with a C syntax, right?
JS is already functional
