Hi Markus -- Your comment:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > There's too much mathematics in it, I'm only an engineer... ;-) reminds of what I think is one of the biggest problems with conventional software development: the lack of appreciable mathematics in the specification, design, coding, or implementation of programs. In this sense there is a huge contrast between conventional software development practice and other engineering disciplines. I was once an electrical engineer, and I used lots of mathematics (not just in school, but in industry), and I know that most other engineering disciplines also use a lot of mathematics. One of the things I like about FP is that it demands more mathematical sophistication of its practitioners, which, contrary to some opinions, I think is a Good Thing. So, I know that you had a smiley after your comment, but I encourage you to take opportunities like this to learn a little more mathematics if you can! (I know I do...)
