I never understood your automated dislike of Haskell.
You misread me pretty badly here. Why?
I never wrote anything showing "dislike" of Haskell. Rather, I said JS's
future standards-based evolution is not going to *swerve* toward
Haskell. We are not going to make extra allocations for unwanted next
funargs.
I like functional programming. I'm multi-paradigm. JS is too, but not to
this FP-till-it-hurts extent. Objects and functions, not functions first.
But if you are
speaking for tc39 when claiming that JS has no aspirations towards
supporting functional APIs when possible, that would be a serious
disappointment. Personally, I believe you're selling JS short here.
Besides misreading me, your recent points have misread "deep" as a
modifier to "continuation", and pushed internal iteration exclusively
(which does not work in all cases as Andy said).
These errors really get in the way of your making grander claims or
plans about JS!
