Isn't it hilarious? But the real question is, why are Haskallers so stupid? seriously, it's almost like they want to shit all over what took them decades to build...

don't conflate category theory ideas like inital alegebras and folds with the cappy 'likelist' typeclass they've come up with and happened to call fold.

exercise:
(1) Define a foldable instance on your Expression a type (change it so Number Int is Number a).
(2) Remember how in category theory the identity function is an example of a fold? Define that using foldr :: (a->b->b)->b->f a->b

1 is possible of course but 2 is not, because it's not a real fold.

fuck what these people are doing to destroy this once beautiful language. Seriously? Am I the only one seeing this happening? They keep moving further and further away from mathematically justified things.
