Garbage Collection Language/Compiler design Function Types A discussion on whether a functions signature is a type, or not. During this discussion we talked about the implicit currying of haskell functions and how this could lead to run-time errors rather than compile errors, however whilst I (Mark) knew what I was talking about, I missed a fundamental part of the equation - function types include the return type, so a partially applied function that doesn’t fit a high-order function is a compil...

There are many more things in “development” which will lower your productivity than the language you eventually implement the solution in. I (Mark) think I made the comment I've never seen scala as being "a more productive language", but a more flexible, adaptable, etc. language which may lead to more productivity, but productiv...
