Mindset Shifts for Functional Programming

Re:Mindset Shifts for Functional Programming by actionfromafar on Wednesday April 05, 2023 @09:06AM (#35453473)

It's heretic and beside the point, but:

    bool odd(uint n){return n&1;} bool even(uint n){ return !odd(n);}

I can't help but think in terms of classic CPU.

    fun odd (n: Uint32) -> Bool =
        let Uint32(n0, _, _, _) = n in
        let Byte(b0, _, _, _, _, _, _, _) = n0 in
        b0

Who needs hardware support for integers anyway? If you want a two-complement arithmetic, you can build it yourself (although presumably it'll be in the standard library).
