I think you've introduced a new type of fallacy into the world.

Brilliant! Can you please share the code? I'd love to see it.

Sweet.

You're correct. Annotated was just too many characters to fit inside the columns I used for the thumbnail view.

I'm not so proficient a developer that I could write any amount of Haskell code without being acutely aware of its statically typed nature.

I don't actually identify as Gen Y (I had to look up the dates) or as a particularly distractible person. I just wanted a pithy way of saying that the protocol issue I hit wasn't necessarily an inherent issue, but rather that I chose not to deal with it.

The code is up at https://github.com/logaan/typed-game-of-life and I'd be very happy to accept a pull request with a Java example. I've done a few side by side comparisons of Clojure / Scala / Java and the Java has always been several times larger than Cloure / Scala. In a couple of cases it was 20-30x larger.

Java 8 may indeed improve this situation. Does it also introduce higher order functions for working with collections?

Ooh god now I'm going to be self conscious about my typing. But seriously I was mainly just worried that Ambrose (the brains behind core.typed) might take it the wrong way. Many of the problems I had could've been avoided if I'd just taken my time and read the docs, and I don't mean for my failing to reflect poorly on his library. He took it like a champ though and released a patch fixing a few issues I hit the same night I posted.

I haven't tried it myself but based on the twitter chatter between @swannodette and @ambrosebs I believe so.

Fixed and pushed. Should appear on the site shortly. Thanks for the feedback. I'll send a pull request to the template author as well.
