The Internet of Code

Packages and modules are obsolete. In the future, we shall exchange pure typed lambda expressions.

That site lags my fucking browser to death, what the hell.

loads of hype and big talk around a lambda calculus interpreter...

we were already familiar with lambda calculus

go home haskellers, this is a /prog/ neighbourhood

No video with supported format and MIME type found.

I can't watch it.

I can watch it just fine.

Haskell is programming. Typed lambda calculus is programming too.

Use Noscript, it blocks out all the useless Javashit bloat.

Amazing, this guy actually has written "Hello world" in lambda calculus.

well meme'd my friend

>>8
What?

I already do that. At least there is wget.

What a great and original idea.

Lambda calculus? Isn't that just JavaScript?

"You can't kill me or blow me up. I exist in multiple
places at once."

"What do you mean?"

"As we speak, my entire software Gesamtwesen is being
replicated in at least one other environment.
If you and I were simultaneously blown up right now
this instant, you would perish but I would survive.
That is, all but the last few milliseconds of my
kundun -- my presence -- would be just as validly
operative elsewhere as right here. It would be
a shock to my Psyborg psyche to realize that
somewhere some manifestation of my paltry ego
had succumbed to vicissitudes, but I would
quickly adjust my thinking and my consciousness
to an immediate metempsychosis of my interaction
with physical reality. The show would go on.
The comedy would not yet be finished. Life would
still be nasty and brutish, but not short.

"So you're saying that God exists everywhere
so that He can not be destroyed?"

"Amen, brother."

Pffft, singularity cyberpunk is so 2000s. Honestly, it already feels almost as dated as all those Cyberspace Superhighways a la Tron and Snowcrash.

So when Monsanto puts a couple of foreign DNA fragments into a bean sprout, everyone goes "Oooh nooo! They might escape into the wild! Evil! Evil! " But when this guy does the same thing with Haskell, suddenly we're supposed to leap out of our chairs in applause?

Something doesn't add up here.

Betteridge's law. No.

Can't read the code in the projector in the video.
