ML = the language of the ignorant

Their ``superiority cult'' is founded on misconceptions and outright falsehoods.

No other programming language fans are so ignorant of where and when the tools they brag about actually originated.

The ML cult are like those people who think Julius Caesar and George Washington were black.

i took an ML course, i thought pattern matching would mean data-driven programming like in SICP and PAIP but it turned out to just be a syntactical gimmick somewhat like a switch statement. there was no metalinguistic abstraction to be seen either, but lots of type checking which is supposed to magically solve all programming errors.

i don't know if i should be skeptical of this stuff but i guess it's the future if the powers that be says so and i should just shut up and do my homework
